letra de morality - ensomniak

[intro: sam harris quote]
and a person clearly doesn’t learn that cruelty is wrong by reading the bible or the quran because you don’t already know that going in, you’re just going to be confronted with endless celebrations of cruelty in these texts. these books are bursting with celebrations of cruelty, both human and divine

[verse 1]
this book could be moral if you don’t mind the misogyny
and thinking women are nothing more than property
deuteronomy teaches it’s fine to rape women
if they’re captured in war, they’re yours for the pickin’
a victim of rape has to marry her attacker
long as he pays her father, then he gets to have her
women are seen as less than second cl-ss citizens
seems it’d be easy to tell preachers to sit and spin
but no, you can be righteous and still think you ought to
let a crowd of men gang rape your daughters
that’s what lot thought, sick in any context
there just isn’t a way to justify the concept
it’s complete nonsense, some say it was the times
things were different, so what, you changed your mind?
is the bible wrong or should women not be equal?
would you say we should treat them as lesser people?

[hook]
biblical morality is fictional; a fallacy
if you thought it’s real, you’re showing symptoms of a malady
when mentioned it’s so sad to see another mental tragedy
thinking this book full of brutality is reality
biblical morality is fictional; a fallacy
if you thought it’s real, you’re showing symptoms of a malady
when mentioned it’s so sad to see another mental tragedy
thinking this book full of brutality is reality

[verse 2]
in this day and age, it should take a lot of bravery
to say your morals come from a book that’s pro-slavery
maybe we should sell daughters, a new commodity
if they didn’t claim it’s true, it’d be bad comedy
probably because that book hasn’t been updated
so the lessons taught from it haven’t been upgraded
i’ve heard it stated that that was in the old book
what about luke 12: verse 47, yeah, go look
i know some believers have the best of intentions
and just cherry pick from what each testament mentions
but these messed-up editions of ancient lesser conditions
support people being in oppressive positions
that’s why it’s so strange my culture is so addicted
to a book that helped their freedom remain restricted
they’re afflicted to something contagious and outrageous
singing praises to the pages that kept ‘em in cages

[verse 3]
“thou shalt not k!ll”; remember that commandment?
it seems simple, but few of them can understand it
their god itself planned it in that exodus story
m-ss infanticide, there isn’t much more gory
so any time your next door neighbor gets you mad
punch their little baby to p-ss off mom and dad
that can’t be bad, it’s in the bible, like genocide
i’m sure during ethnic cleansing; only sinners died
stone your disobedient children and k!ll g-ys
slay your neighbor if he labors the wrong day
yahweh says, “blaspheme or follow other religions”
then you must have made the last of your decisions
this is all from the bloodiest story ever sold
used to control the fold since back in the days of old
if you were told morals come from this, you’ve been lied to
and you know it said atheists like me should die to

[outro: richard dawkins quote and sam harris quote]
the bible may an arresting and poetic work of fiction, but it is not the sort of book you should give your children to form their morals. in these books, the most unethical behavior is celebrated. if these events occured in our own time, half the prophets and kings of israel would be shackled and brought to the hague for crimes against humanity
