Songs That Have Made You Cry
#21
RE: Songs That Have Made You Cry
As someone who has lost a number of friends to the AIDS epidemic, lost before there was something that could be done about it, this song inspired by the death of one of their multitude has always moved me especially deeply.

I told the priest, "Don't count on any second coming,
God got his ass kicked, the first time he came down here slumming.
He had the balls to come, the gall to die and then forgive us.
No, I don't wonder why; I wonder what he thought it would get us."

Hey, hey, goodbye. Tomorrow, Wendy's going to die.

Only God says, "Jump", so I set the time
'Cause if he ever saw her it was through these eyes of mine!
And if he ever suffered, 
It was me who did his crying.

I feel the same way about "Philadelphia" by Bruce Springsteen. I love any song which can tell me a story and make me feel  what the other person felt, even if it is pain, sadness, and looming death. Music is so powerful.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
