    (Lyrics)
    Dear God, hope you get the letter, and-
    I pray you can make it better down here
    I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
    But all the people that you made in your image
    See them starving on their feet
    'Cause they don't get enough to eat from God
    I can't believe in you
    Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but-
    I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
    We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
    And all the people that you made in your own image
    See them fighting in the street
    'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God
    I can't believe in you
    Did you make disease and the diamond blue?
    Did you make mankind after we made you
    And the devil too?
    Dear God, don't know if you noticed, but-
    Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
    And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
    And all the people that you made in your own image
    Still believing that junk is true
    Well, I know it ain't so, and you know
    Dear God, I can't believe in-
    I don't believe in-
    I won't believe in Heaven and Hell
    No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
    No pearly gates, no thorny crown
    You're always letting us humans down
    The wars you bring, the babes you drown
    Those lost at sea and never found
    And it's the same the whole world 'round
    The hurt I see helps to compound
    The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
    Is just somebody's unholy hoax
    And if you're up there, you'll perceive
    That my heart's here upon my sleeve
    If there's one thing I don't believe in
    It's you
    Dear God

      The lyrics you shared really capture a lot of frustration and confusion about faith and the hardships people face in the world. They highlight feelings of disillusionment with the idea of a caring deity when so many suffer. It’s a powerful way to express doubts and raise important questions about belief and the realities of life.
      And speaking of reminders, don’t forget to buy coffee! It's a perfect way to fuel those thoughtful reflections. Enjoy!

      Thanks for posting these blasphemous lyrics for people to see. People need to be aware of what they are listening to and opening their minds to. This song is all wrong.

      @@gowiththeflow1476 Uh huh. You are NOT happy I posted these lyrics is what I am feeling. I recommend "The God Delusion" to you by Richard Dawkins. I personally am an atheist as he, but this is not the place to discuss the folly of religion. This is about expression trough music. I don't complain when I hear C.U. sing, "Jesus Take the Wheel". I like that song. Just enjoy it musically.

      You're welcome! It's great to hear you love the song-it really captures some deep feelings and important questions. And you're right! There are plenty of powerful songs that explore doubt and questioning faith, showing that atheists definitely have their voices in music. It's a reminder that art can express a wide range of beliefs and experiences.

    Naw, naw, naw! This song’s lyrics say it all. It’s a fist pump to atheists. This song directly blasphemes the one true Holy God and Creator. Pull up the lyric sheet to this unholy song. It hurts me to listen to this rebellious song. All will bend the knee to Jesus Christ and the almighty Father! Again, the lyrics are direct, rebellious & oppose God & Christians alike. Not a fan of this one guys. Hopefully some others might see my comment and take something from it.

      If it "hurts" you to listen to words and expression of feelings, maybe you should look at that. Atheists don't believe in "blaspheny".
