    When I die, let me down
    In the field in the ground
    Where the water runs beneath me
    And the sky's red and falling down
    Around my eyes that I closed
    And the world that I know
    Is a shadow of a dream
    That left me in my loneliness
    Without a life behind me
    That I can say I ever knew
    That I can say I ever knew
    That I can say I ever lived at all

    Now I'm a drunken man
    And I'm killing time
    From what was mislaid
    I've never been alive
    I was never born in blood
    I've never breathed a word
    And the people that I knew
    The women and the thieves
    They left my body bleeding
    On this piece of fallow ground
    They left my body bleeding
    On this piece of closing in
    They left my body bleeding
    On this piece of emptiness

    They left my body bleeding
    On this piece of fallow ground
    Where famine comes before me
    And cuts my people down
    Where the brown cloud shuts the sun
    And locusts eat our food
    And the blood of lamb is spilled
    And smeared across the altar
    And the colors red and gold
    Put their flavor in our soul
    And the children are born blind
    And the water turns to blood
    And we're sheltered by our god
    Whose hand is strong and bloody
    And we're walking earth that's filled
    With the bodies that he's killed
    To get our people free
    To get our people out
    To get our people free
    To get our people out
    He'll drown them in black waters
    He'll send a swarm of flies
    Yeah, he'll slaughter those that kill us
    And he'll punish them that hide
    Where was it decided?
    Where was it described
    That a man he gets no substance
    That as he lays there as he dies
    He ceases to believe
    He was ever born in blood
    That his eyes have ever seen
    That his hands have ever held
    That his lungs have ever breathed
    That he's ever been alive
    Was he ever alive?
    Was he ever alive?
    Was he ever alive?
    Was he ever alive?

    I suppose it isn't totally unreasonable to think that if you also submit that the entire universe is in his image. Be careful though. It opens the door for the ethics of intolerance, and accepting ignorance in lieu of "faith". Always question your beliefs. Resist the urge to become simple minded.

    "God made man in his image" is from the Bible, which was written by man.

    The image thing, I think, was meant to mean that Yahweh (God) was humanoid in appearance. There are humanoid-looking extraterrestrials out in our galaxy, so this is not a far stretch. The deities were/are of extraterrestrial origins. I don't think that Godliness is achievable, in this manner.

But is for the Believers to take on the spirit of the Savior, a guide & example.. We strive to better ourselves & practice makes perfect

        Well, Yeshua (Christ) was a real man. If he was the son of Yahweh (God), and looked like a man, then what you say would be correct. Have you ever heard of The Shroud of Turin? They say that this is the shroud that Yeshua was wrapped in after he died on the cross. There's an print on the shroud of a rather regal man. The image reminds me of King Arthur, for some reason.

        It is all very fascinating. :)

      Oh my ironic God. This is even worse than the Bible BS.

      Stop using words like 'are' and 'were' when you've got no frickin' evidence.

      Crazy ass people all over this god damned planet.
      I want my own planet...with only sane people on it please.

        I am not a Christian, if that is what you think. Aliens do exist and the information is out there if you would like to learn about it. As for as I am concerned (no offense to your beliefs), but does any side 100% know the truth on these matters? I have nothing against Science, but it has yet to solve all of the mysteries in our Universe.

    You should keep in mind the context of the scripture that says man was created in God's image. This is found in Genesis and is talking about Adam and Eve, perfect creations. Yes, they literally were created in the image of God. But then they sinned and fell short of the glory of God. So just because we were designed in some way like God, we are sinners and fools, so we should never compare ourselves to God.

      Perfect creations, that somehow made themselves imperfect. Makes sense.

    This is your fucking god in action. Just where do you see "Godliness is destined"? I only see evil and horrible acts of extreme cruelty to innocents like these in the article. An all powerful and all knowing god should not allow these things to happen.
    "A teenager has been found hanging from a tree in a village in northern India, the fourth woman to die in such a way in recent weeks in Uttar Pradesh state.
    A post-mortem confirmed death by hanging, but did not find she was raped as the 19-year-old's family alleged.
    A day earlier, another woman's body was found hanging from a tree in the state.
    The gang rape and murder of two girls found in similar circumstances last month sparked outrage. Correspondents say more cases are now being reported.
    If there is truly a god it is a horrible being hardly worth our respect or adoration.

      I do pray for your salvation, first of all. And I am replying to you in love. God has complete sovereignty and domain and did allow this act to happen. But God does not answer to humans because everything he allows to happen is for the good of those who believe. I am sorry for what has happened but it should bring you peace to know that there is a reason for it, even if you do not find it on this side of eternity.

        Please, I beg of you, do NOT pray for me. Do not waste one single second thinking for one instant that your god is in any way a good thing in this world, as far as I am concerned. The belief in a god has been responsible for so many more cruel, inhumane deaths at the hands of true believers, than all the insane monsters like Hitler. I am and shall quite happily remain, until and after death, a non believer.

          I do not believe true believers have committed such acts. See, someone can truly believe in God, but that does not make them a believer. They are not Christians and will spend eternity in hell suffering for their sins. I do still pray for you and other unsaved and hope God elects you unconditionally because you would have great conviction and faith after. Your father as an unsaved, Satan, has filled your memory with unbelievable acts that seem to be at the hands of Christians but this is just another ploy.

            You are a total moron, then. Pick up any history book and it will be filled with the horrors of the true believers. From the Crusades to the Spanish Inquisition, history if full of how the righteous true believers massacred so many MILLIONS, in the name of their god. It happens EVERY SINGLE DAY, even today; read the news. god is a foul and hideous idea and is the worst thing ever to come from the mind of man.

    Is it normal? Yes. 90% of 'murica believes in this.

    Now, if this site were called "is it correct. . .?"

    It's normal to believe in him and not to believe in him we are born in a world of sin but MY personal opinion is it's good to believe in something because how could you not? People are amazing but to balance the good there will be the bad.
