“Should I Call You Jesus?”-Billie Myers
Religions all around the world
Every man, every woman, every want to be martyr
We have to learn, to learn
The way we need to live together
If the planet Earth stopped revolving
Would religion really matter anymore?
And if Jerusalem began dissolving
You’d see the man from Salt Lake City
At your door
I believe
I believe
That there’s so much more
Than we can’t see
I believe
I believe
That there’s more to life
There’s more to life than this
Should I call you Jesus?
Or should I call you Buddha?
Don’t you know Jehovah
He read the Kabbalah
Should I talk to Allah?
Does it really matter?
God is God
By any God given name
If the Vatican built all the temples
Would confession drive the innocent insane?
And if charity organized religion
Would there be wealth enough
To chant away the day
I believe
I believe
That there’s more to life
There’s more to life than this
Should I call you Jesus?
Or should I call you Buddha?
Don’t you know Jehovah?
He read the Kabbalah
Should I talk to Allah?
Does it really matter?
God is God
By any God given name
Some people, some people
Say He won’t answer
I say that the question should change
Our father who art in Heaven
Ancient omnipresent
Hallowed be thy name
Legendary reincarnation
Chameleon of faith
Untruth Man made
Our father who art in Heaven
If I get your name wrong
Will you turn me away?
Should I call you Jesus?
Or should I call you Buddha?
Don’t you know Jehovah?
He read the Kabbalah
Should I talk to Allah?
Does it really matter?
God is God
By any God given name
Religion isn’t hate
Religion isn’t war
Genocide, brutal, or cruel
It doesn’t kill
Discriminate
It isn’t vicious
And it doesn’t violate
It isn’t massacre
Bloodshed
Conflict or slaughter
Barbaric terror
Barbaric torture
Tyranny
Dictatorship
Or fear
Religions all around the world
Every man, every woman, every want to be martyr
We have to learn, to learn
The way we need to live together
I ask only one question
Should I call you Jesus?
Does it really matter?
Jesus, come over here and have a beer.

I’m not very religious. But I do believe that if God does exist, He doesn’t hate or discriminate. He loves all equally. One religion isn’t better than the other. Even if one was, I don’t think God would like for people to fight over it. And honestly, I don’t care that the Bible says that a man should not lay with another man. If it’s love, it’s love. If God is so loving and forgiving, then He should accept a male/male or female/female relationship. And DO not tell me that people choose to be gay. They don’t. They’re born that way. Just like I was born straight. I didn’t choose to be straight. I just am.If you’re religious, that’s totally cool. I respect that. Just don’t force your religion on me, and I won’t force what I believe on you. Simple as that.And always remember: “Do to others what you would have them do to you.”
