I was told all my life to believe in a God,
That I've never seen before, isn't that odd?
Pray every night to an invisible man,
After I would finish, I still didn't understand.
He's supposed to be our father, our savior,
So why doesn't he stop the chaos and bad behavior?
See, I quit believing in something that nobody has ever saw,
Been told he's a hero, but all he does is let people fall.
God's not dead because he was never real,
This is my personal belief, this is how I feel.
You read a bible that has been reconstructed a million times,
It's no different than the fairytales that were implanted in my mind.
People wrote documented proof he once existed,
If it's true, why haven't I seen a grave with his name listed?
Don't take it personal, but you've been lied to your whole life,
It's time to break the chains and pull out the knife.
You're praying to a being that you have never seen,
So who's to say he wasn't a false soul in a dream?
If God is real, how was he created?
This is a controversy that's been long debated.
He's said to have had a son named Jesus who died at the stake,
I've never seen a tombstone for such a fate.
Jesus was supposed to have walked on water but it can't be true.
Because if he could, why can't we too?
And he apparently created the Earth in just seven days,
That's false, because the Big Bang theory proves there was a more logical way.

I don't believe in God because he's never showed his face,
Everyone says I should reconsider my case.
I'm not going to Heaven nor am I going to Hell,
These places are as real as Neverland, can't you tell?
Fictional characters and places in a book,
You'll never see them no matter how hard you look.
I'm not trying to change your beliefs because that's not me,
I'm just explaining the vision I see.

This is a song I wrote to express my personal belief on God and why I assume he doesn't exist. This is NOT intended to harass, insult, make fun of, or change your religion or beliefs. Everyone is entitlted to their own opinion, and this is mine.

I personally believe in each religion a little bit. I'm big on the whole chi and reincarnation thing. However, a person nobody has ever seen, couldn't just exist. This God couldn't have existed until the universe exploded to restart. It is also unrealistic that the Earth was created in seven days, when in reality it took four billion years. There is logical thinking and evidence to support the Big Bang Theory as to how Earth became. The Bible is a book that could be tampered with and false documents could be written. As for your bird reasoning, humans cannot fly due to the fact evolution has not let us. We have no reason to fly because we can run, climb, and relocate easier than a bird can. Birds have hollow bones, we do not. They have feathers that allow air to lift them up, we do not. Each creature has evolved to specifically meet their survival and reproductive needs. All in all, everyone is praying to a being that has never been seen, or is there any proof it ever existed or does exist. I'm not trying to insult you or your beliefs, because that's not me. I appreciate your comment and the time you took to read my song. It means a lot!

i think it's quite brave and honest to say how you really feel. What i say next might be biased because i'm a Christian, but just because Jesus walked on water it doesn't mean humans have to. Like, how can birds fly and we can't? because we are not supposed or designed to, we are always wanting more when we can just accept that our bodies are full of mystery and intelligence.You wouldn't see a tombstone for Jesus because he wasn't buried.I think overall we must stop the "chaos and bad behavior" ourselves and not rely on God to fix all our problems.And finally, i like to think God is like love or the wind, that you can't see it but you feel it but it does not mean it does not exists (unless your one who does not believe in love.blah). It is hard to understand understandable things but these are a few answers to the hidden questions in your song.
