Question
Severed Savior Lyrics

Close-minded faith verses science
Faith and science stand opposed to each other, both unwilling to budge

Both on the front line
Both sides are actively advocating their beliefs

Faith’s weapon of choice
Blind belief is what the religious rely on to defend their faith

False fantasy
Religious beliefs are based on unsupported fantasies

Scientist’s defense
Scientists use reason and logic as their defense

Logic
What scientific inquiry is ultimately based on

Truth beyond truth
A higher truth that is objective, rather than subjective

With actual facts to prove there is fabricated delusion in use
There is tangible evidence to suggest that religious beliefs are fabricated

Deception at the birth of every child used as involuntary recruitment
People are born into a religion without active consent, and indoctrinated from childhood

Documented by one of their own
Evidence of the above phenomenon has been documented by religious figures themselves

Supposedly handed to him by this so called deity
Religious figures claim that their deity endows them with knowledge and authority

Trained to maintain a shield from opposition
Religious adherents are taught to deflect and resist contrary viewpoints

Tactics shattered by fact
This resistance is undone by actually sound evidence

Reactions drag at the thought of defeat
The religious are stubborn in the face of evidence that counters their beliefs

Filters embedded into their control centers
Beliefs are formed in a way where contrary views are unable to penetrate

Veracity hidden behind vital nerves
The religious choose not to engage with facts that run counter to their beliefs

Being fed fiction, overcast by absurdity
Religion often justifies beliefs with insensible arguments or magical thinking

Masters of selective observation
The religious are adept at the practice of only observing what they find favorable

Disregarding evidence of biological evolution
Evidence of biological evolution is ignored by religious beliefs

How can we be the only ones in this universe?
The concept of extraterrestrial life is worthy of serious discussion and thought

We are but a grain of sand in an everlasting desert
A perspective that views humanity as existentially small and insignificant

A lethal injection pushed in an absent direction
A condemnation of religious values being imposed without critical examination

Why live in a state of paranoia
A challenge to why religious people are driven by fear, guilt, and paranoia

Over someone who never shows their face
Religious figures often lack tangible presence and display of their authority

They can’t fathom being wrong
Religious figures cannot comprehend being incorrect in their beliefs

With truth dangling in front of their closed eyes
Despite evidence, religious figures choose to ignore it

Impossible to think that they evolved out of chance
Some religious believers view the universe as existing from an intelligent design, rather than scientific randomness

Impossible to think their earliest ancestors were single-celled organisms
Refutes religious belief that life did not evolve from simple organisms

Who will win? Ones with fantasy? Or ones with fact?
An appeal for the supremacy of rational thought over irrational belief

Why can’t you answer me
A questioning of why religious adherents do not have answers to opposing viewpoints

Who will win? Ones with faith? Or ones with evidence?
A furthering of the appeal for rational thought over irrational belief

What will win? Lies or independence?
A challenge of which side pursues truth objectively

Answer this question
A final call to reason and critical thinking over blind faith
