God Thinks - by Voltaire

my take is that its purely based on the writers perception and understanding of his beliefs.
belief sets perception.
even if one changes his beliefs, the prior beliefs continue to condition his next action.
look at thag for example, he has hate against god because he was born a christian and made to fear his whole life.
now that he left christianity, his perception lets him see "either one of the religions is the way, or none, being athiesm"
when in reality this thought is based on his conditioning that one of the many religions out there is the way.
the only way you move forward is if you understand that we all live, think, believe, and act according to our perception, and in our own eyes, we are all correct.
no one is to blame, we all want to succeed, and if heaven existed we all would choose heaven in an instant.
i can never believe in loving god who will force his creations to live a life of ignorance and suffering on earth, and then torture them an even worse suffering in an ETERNAL fire.
people need to look outside the box and realize that the truth can be ANYTHING. Dont let your previous beliefs, and current perception condition your next perspective, because if you want it or not, it WILL.
after reading my reply, go back and reread the lyrics and see how voltaire is only seeing things because of what he was taught to believe.
then maybe, all the siccness members on here will finally start to understand how important it is when i state that belief sets perception and we are all right in our own way with NOBODY AT FAULT.

I thought you had quotes from Voltaire. Turns out to be some kind of funk-metal band or something. Here's some actual Voltaire quotes.
****************************************************
I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it.
If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
Love truth, and pardon error.
It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.
God is a circle whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere.
History is a pack of lies we play on the dead.
Voltaire (1694 - 1778)
French author, humanist, rationalist, & satirist
