" Question: (And this is embarrassing)
You ever been scared you had no idea what you were talking about?
Yeah, me too.
Honesty perplexed.
I've lied and so have you, Christians.
Lying.
Like you never had questions?
Like you never had a moment
when your inner dialogues
were all of a sudden in third person like,
"Are you really buying this?"
You're lying.
You get it but you don't get it.
Like you've never planted your Chuck Taylors firmly in the sinking sand...
You're lying.
act like God has joined a political party— just like you.
I know it's wrong for me to front like I understand your theology
as well as I think I understand mine,
but I know we can agree on this:
Something is deathly wrong with us.
And you, Smarty Pants, don't front
Like the little you know about our universe
you ready to draw conclusions about it's origins?
Maybe we don't know as much as we think we do…
Science still can't explain yawning.
Like you never took your world view to it's furthest conclusions?
That if human behavior is just what protoplasm does at this temperature,
then there is no need for humanitarian effort,
because these atrocities weren't wrong,
IT'S JUST THE UNIVERSE WEEDING OUT BAD GENES.
Them is fingernail-on-chalkboard words, ain't 'em?
You're lying.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you're right.
Maybe we'll find out the day after the world ends.
Yeah, I guess we're all a little inconsistent,
SO MAYBE WE CAN JUST SHOW EACH OTHER SOME GRACE.
Forgive me for asking.
Forgive me for asking.
Forgive me for asking.
You ever bury yourself in self-righteous guilt?
[Huh, me too.]
Are there fresh tally marks on the walls of your brain's prison,
[Mine, too]
hoping that the count of good deeds outnumber the bad ones?
Are your miserable failures your badges of honor?
And when you count those tallies,
and the day the good outnumber the bad,
pat yourself on the back:
YOU HAVE JOINED THE REST OF HUMANITY.
You, too, are lying.
Like you never thought,
"Someone might catch me in my contradiction."
Yeah, me too.
You ever think to yourself,
"I have no idea what I'm talking about"?
Yeah, me too.
Forgive me for asking.
Forgive me for asking. "
