I'm not sure whether to tell आप my emidiate feeling when I meet an Athiest, because it's probably the most patronising, horrible thing for me to feel in their eyes, but I honestly can't help how I feel.

I am an atheist... but this song rocks.

I'm not quite myself these days
Guess we all come undone time to time in different ways
Well, I have myself to blame
Guess I don't understand I need help in many ways


God's got a plan for me W
ell, I'm gonna tell आप one thing
I don't got the patience या the time
What can I say? I'm no एंजल
I'm not forsaken but I can bleed


Tear me open, I believe
God will set आप up to bleed
And no one can deceive what is meant to be
And "Bloody murder" we will scream


Well, I guess it's time for me
Tell me what I'm left to believe in
'Cause I don't know the concept of the...
