LYRICS:
The books you think I wrote are way too thick.
Who needs a thousand metaphors to figure out you shouldn't be a dick?
And I don't watch you when you sleep.
Surprisingly, I don't use my omnipotence to be a fucking creep.
You're not going to heaven.
Why the fuck would you think Id ever kick it with you?
None of you are going to heaven.
There's a trillion aliens cooler than you.
You shouldn't abstain from rape just because you think that I want you to.
You shouldn't rape because rape is a fucked up thing to do.
I don't think masturbation is obscene.
Its absolutely natural and the weirdest fucking thing I've ever seen.
You make my job a living hell.
I sent gays to fix overpopulation and boy did that go well.
You're not going to heaven.
Eat a thousand crackers, sing a million hymns.
None of you are going to heaven.
You're not my children you're a bad games of Sims.
You shouldn't abstain from pork just 'cause you think that I want you to.
You can eat pork, because why the fuck would I give a shit?
You argue and you bicker and you fight.
Atheists and Catholics, Jews and Hindus argue day and night
over what they think is true.
But no one entertains the thought that maybe God does not believe in you.
You pray so badly for heaven,
knowing any day might be the day that you die
but maybe life on earth could be heaven.
Doesn't just the thought of it make it worth the try?
My love is the type of thing that you have to earn
And when you earn it, you won't need it. (2x)
I'm not going to give you love just 'cause I know that you want me to.
If you want love then the love is gonna come from you. - Komedie
"No one entertains the thought that maybe God does not believe in you..."
*stares accusingly at the audience*
That lines kinda dark though...What is theres an entire world who thinks we are god?..

Benecio Starkey that makes no since and it’s rude you have over stepped
@@krakitty123 Don't get mad, because I'm not sure how you're reading the reply, but I'm pretty sure they just mean that people in a bad situation might see people with let's say a house or food as Gods because they have essentials that the unfortunate person doesn't.
Like how people want to come into America because their country is in a situation, whether that be bad governement or lack of essentials. They see America as a paradise of freedom. (Is what I was told. It could just be Americans being self-centered because we do that a lot)
Edit: had to fix some grammar. I just woke up, sorry
Totallyahooman sorry when I wrote that it was like 3:00 am so I was very judgemental
“I don’t watch you when you sleep”
Random background guy:”WOOO!”
I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HEAR IT WOOO
*epic nerd sounds*
SANTA
*he probably did something on his bed*
His parents kept telling him God was always watching and he was always too scared to ask anyone if it was true, he felt free from the burden when Bo finally said that he is free to make his own choices in the privacy of his own home without the being that made everything judging you
"If you want love, the loves got to come from you"
Essence of this song
No the essense of the song is that I can eat as much bacon as I damn well please.
@@moonlambo5229 this is the true answer
@@kidnamedfinger3958 agreed
Yeah I always found it weird when some Christians wondered how atheists could live without a purpose because we don’t believe in God, like if your only purpose is to serve God, and nothing you do is not in his name, then aren’t you just a servant, a peasant, a serf? Working over the lands of the earth to plant the seeds of God’s meaningfulness? (Guess that’s why they call him Lord God) Sure, that’s noble, but you’re not ever living for yourself? Is that not depressing? Have you ever felt self-love, self-worth? The impostor syndrome in even the dumbest Christians must be so high, and that’s just a darn shame. Also, when they ask “what’s stopping you from murdering or raping because you’re an atheist?” What’s stopping me? The law and my basic understanding of empathy, perhaps!
Also just as important would be "Life on earth could be heaven, isn't just the thought of it worth a try?" :)
Holy shit I can’t believe this came out almost 8 years ago. This guy is the most thought provoking comedian I have ever listened to
yessss, he's so ahead of his time
He's basically the last true philosopher at this point. I dont know that Id even say he's a comedian anymore. Especially after inside.
WAIT THIS WAS 8 YEARS AGO?
I'd say he's up there, Carlin is definitely my number one, even though I feel like he comes off as a boomer from time to time. Carlin blazed a trail and it's a shame that so few people are like Bo Burnham, carrying the torch.
@@jujuandjesus Too many standup comedians these days are right wingers, or at least, act as useful idiots for the right by parroting their talking points even if they see themselves as politically neutral (like Dave Chapelle and Andrew Schultz). It's refreshing to find an edgy comedian who actually leans left and isn't afraid to show it. Bo Burnham and George Carlin understand that comedy isn't "just jokes" and can actually push or perpetuate political narratives, intentionally or not. That's why Carlin said he was careful not to punch down on minorities while Bo often highlighted ongoing inequalities between privileged and marginalized groups.
"Maybe God does not believe in you," holy fucking shit.

Carolean you know that being an atheist doesn’t make you smarter , and that’s a fact lol .
“You’re not my children, You’re a bad game of SIMS” and “Maybe God doesn’t believe in you” are great fucking lines and I’m jealous I didn’t think of them
Honestly tho never heard anyone say that
This made me think of the idea that: If you need the fear of eternal damnation to be a good person then maybe you're not a good person.
Damn thats deep
EXACTLY!! As he said “who needs a thousand metaphors to figure out you shouldn’t be a di-?” It’s really sad to see that some people only are good people because they fear hell. Not because they genuinely want to be good.
Some religious person asked me if I don't belong in damnation, why don't I do whatever I want and I was just like "...cause it's wrong?" It's crazy
"What is more noble? To be born a good person, or to overcome your past nature and grow into a good person through hard work and diligence"
Yup
"I created the universe, you think I'm drawing the line at the fucking deli aisle?" is my favorite line.
My favorite lines are "I sent gays to fix over population...boy did that go well" and "you're not my children, you're just a bad game of sins"

'No-one entertains the thought that maybe God does not believe in you'
This line means more than it's face value.
'If you want love then the love has gotta come from you'
Extremely profound for a comedy song.
El Diablo That part was really really Really GOOD!!
The entire second half means more than it's face value.
MiningSolo Okay.
El Diablo I love Bo, both his comedy and insight on life are ingenious. In my opinion, it's songs like this that are what entertainment should be. Many claps for bo.
I love this song. I’ve grown up Christian all my life and still believe in it, but I was also raised by good people. It’s disturbing and infuriating to me how weird, hateful, and stiff so many other Christians are. I absolutely admire this brutal, honest take on the assholes who think they’ll go to Heaven just because they believe.
bro, hate the sin, love the sinner
if you're one of those faux-christians who thinks that the only rule of faith is 'durrrrrr be nice or something' then eat shit
Agreed, 100%. It's disgusting how many people are so entitled because they believe. I love God, but not so much his fans. Still, God tells us to love your enemies, so
It does say something about your beliefs that they can be interpreted in such a hateful and bigoted way, no?

You can make God be whatever you want him to be. It’s easy if you try, but he’s only your god though.
Edit: strong emphasis on “he’s only your god” meaning this god of yours if not actually real.

All he said was love yourself lol
"Maybe life on earth could be heaven. Doesn't just the thought of it make it worth a try". I'm an environmental scientist who has spent most of my life feeling this but haven't been able to put it to words. Hearing it in this song hits me hard. If everyone else felt the same way, we'd be living in a very different world. You can call it paradise, heaven, whatever. Doesn't just the thought of that make the effort worthwhile?
no, we are living in heaven. the world is perfect. we are advancing and the environment is getting worse and we are enslaving/killing more animals than ever. it's awesome for humanity
CAN OTHER PEOPLE TRY TO AT LEAST LISTEN TO PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
I wish more people thought like that instead of thinking the sooner the world falls apart the sooner they, specifically, will be raptured away to leave the rest of us to deal with the problems they actively fought us not to fix.

"You're not my children, you're a bad game of Sims™."
i'm an atheist but if this is what the christian god is actually like, i might convert.
Slight correction: There is no "christian" god. Christians, jews, and muslims all believe in the same god. Therefore, If god exists (which i hope he does), he is not exclusive to one religion. And thats excluding all the other monotheistic religions that believe in a different singular god . Otherwise, good comment!

1) it’s the most widely adopted religion
2) simply “god” could refer to the other religions you didn’t reference? Sikhism, hinduism, animism etc etc

Bo's way of throwing absolute power and gravity into comedy. He demands people think and I love that about him. He is my absolute favorite "comedian" since George Carlin. Their ability to tell it as it is and give the realist perspectives fucking ever is unmatched.
The “Maybe God does not believe in you” line always sends chills down my spine. Such a beautiful sentiment, and the aggressive change in pace on the piano drives the gravity of it all perfectly.
Bo in 2013: Maybe life on Earth could be heaven. Doesn't just the thought of it make it worth a try?
Bo in 2021: You say the whole world's ending. Honey, it already did.
It's sad to see such an optimistic outlook on life shattered. Bo has really lost all his hope in humanity.
That's because humanity IS lost.
Note how this was published at the end of 2013 AKA the point of no return and pretty much the last good year overall.
Let's go to Mars
Nah cuz we would probably just fuck up mars as well until we have nowhere to go
@@user-gk6sg1jw3m Wise words, let it end here.
Why does everybody look over the line “you make my job a living hell”
Because he lives in the heaven but he feels that it’s the hell *Isn’t that ironic?*

As a ex-muslim the pork part was my favorite. Even when i was a child i was thinking " doesn't god have anything better than writing list for consumable animals?"
الله يهديك
I always thought this was due to the fact that hogs/pigs carried disease and the food safety back then obviously wasn't the best. It wss therefore labeled unlcear.
@@6tuf85dyfu Might be, but there's nothing divine about that interpretation. 600 years before Islam Jesus already said: "A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it.", and I don't think food safety was any better in those times. If anything it was even worse. Today we have food safety and we can eat whatever we want, which makes Jesus words true and timeless, Jewish law obsolete, and Islam just a bad copy of old texts.
I had the same discussion with my friend a year or so ago
He used to live with his grandparents in Saudi Arabia and never ate pork but he is a Norse pagan and one day I just looked at him and went "Why don't you eat pork? You like breakfast sausage but not other pork stuff." His response was religion, to which I came back with "Ok... But you're Norse pagan right? Do you realize how many pigs the Vikings probably ate?"
The look on his face when that clicked 😂 needless to say he eats pork now without feeling bad
@@Dan_Capone ikr
I know this song is mostly a joke, but that certain disdain he added within "You're *_NOT_* my children-" at around 2:11 is actually fucking perfect
I absolutely love that portrayal of God actually disgusted by the basic idea that we might have come from him
"But maybe life on earth could be heaven, doesn't just the thought of it make it worth a try?"
Oddly reassuring.
True
Incredible line
Also, "If you want love than the love has got to come from you"
Dude. Check out Jordan Peterson on every decision that you make tipping the world around you more towards heaven or hell every day. This third verse encapsulates thay truth in a comedic song.
David K I think Jordan Peterson is the opposite of this song but this is CZcams so who the fuck cares what I think

God: Pretty cringe ngl.

“Woooah man I think you skipped 2 or 3 steps there”

Love yourself and maybe god won't give a shit
"But no one entertains the thought that maybe god does not believe in you"
why is this so profound, like
how is Bo like the first person to ever think of this
Ikr..
I don’t think he’s the first person to think this, but he’s probably the first person to actually say something about it
He's not, but he IS famous, so it's basically the same thing.
bo isn't the first person to think or say it. even within the highly religious circles of the world, the idea that "god isn't going to save us from our problems" is a long-standing ideal. buddhism's degenerate age of dharma is a good example.
The flood? No? Ok.
the sheer amount of people/women cheering when Bo says you shouldn't r*pe people says a lot and it's fucking sad
ik it's not what you meant but people/women is kinda funny
People/woman lmao 🤣😂😂
Just say people my guy
I thought women were people, but you made a categorical distinction. Huh. Learn something new every day.
...what it says is people support the idea of.. not raping.
I love that as a comedian, he's confident enough to not have laughs towards the end of his songs, but silence from the audience in awe
It's probably because a lot of his songs and bits end in messages instead of just puchlines
The last part of the song was pretty serious and I can understand why. It was designed that way. Bo just wanted to express his religous opinion and wanted to be serious about it.
Because there not just joke songs. There legitimate good music. Better than most musicians.
@@brendankane4186 æ Nm
Honestly, I'd be cautious to judge that kind of thing from a video, microphones and the way you can mix channels that contain them afterwards can really change how something sounds or comes over. It's easy to make an audience be practically silent while they might be laughing or cheering just by mixing down that microphone in the post processing stage...
Other than that: the last part is not exactly ehm, the most comedy-part of the whole song and the message it tries to convey...
who needs a thousand metaphors to figure out not to be a dck? gets me every time
Every. Damn. Time. 😂

(I have the same sense of humor as a 12yr old boy)
Well if you sang this then you weren’t forced to sing then, otherwise you would have sang the actual church music. I may not be religious but I still pray you get out of this edgy reddit atheist phase soon
"Maybe God does not belive in you" is the best line in this song
I've heard Bo praised for his songs being witty and funny and linguistically creative.
One thing people never seem to mention is just how f*cking *beautiful* so many of his songs are from a purely musical, aesthetic perspective.
i was just about to comment that! i have to say the piano alone is insane and compliments what he’s saying so well!
that's what i've been saying...the piano solo in "straight white males" is absolutely incredible
That’s actually my favorite part of comedians who use music for comedy; the most beautifully composed song being sung with this lovely voice and it can be about the raunchiest thing you’ve ever heard! Especially when it’s just good all around; Bo Burnham, Tim Minchin, Stephen Lynch, somehow they all find this wonderful dichotomy between what should be ugly versus beautiful and make it into the same thing.
AND..with a lot of depth and truth.
I misread it as "from a purely musical, atheistic perspective" at first and did a double take.
bless that one guy who cheered when bo said "i dont watch you when you sleep"
aesthetic trash God is proud
Wooop
WOOOO
Because he's the guy that watches
He’s probably like OH THANK YOU GOD, I DO WEIRD THINGS IN MY SLEEP
All these years later, hearing this song still makes me shed a tear. He is an underrated artist of our generation. I hope he’s doing well out there.
it made you cry? haha 😄
Have some empathy. Some people were abused by the church and the idea that God isn’t happy with the church makes us feel better. I see so many people in the comments going “Ha ha ha what the heck is religious trauma that’s so funny you’re so stupid, you have ptsd lolololol” Maybe you should think before you make fun of someone
Beautiful sentiment. I hope you are doing well out there too x.

+Jamestech God couldn't work out why not eating meat is ethical. Another reason we shouldn't listen to him.

Same.
“My love is the type of thing that you have to earn. I’m not gonna give you love just cause I know that you want me to. If you want love the love has got to come from you.” Kind of like how respect is earned not just automatically given and I wish people would see that meaning more. Just because you’re old or just because of your religion or anything it doesn’t mean that you automatically deserve respect it depends on the type of person that you are. You have to give in order to receive.
I have to disagree with the respect is earned thing, disrespect is earned. Respect is usually given to anyone, like if you meet a stranger at the grocery store and they ask you to reach for an item in a shelf they can't get you usually give it to them but once you realize they're shitty as hell theres a less likely chance of you doing the samething for them again.
@@wegettingrippedtonight1190 damn fucking straight
@@wegettingrippedtonight1190 really on point. Respect absolutely shouldn’t be “earned” it’s the bare minimum for being a good person. The whole idea you have to earn being treated with kindness is so gross.
@@wegettingrippedtonight1190 atheist here and yes I do think there should be some level of respect from everyone, but god doesn’t have to love you back as well love means you like something and god possibly might not like most of the human race.

cecilia winchester I LOVE YOUR PROFILE PIC MISHA BABY 💜
I used references to this in my C of E (Church of England) school talent show in my comedy act. The teachers were horrified but the students enjoyed it lmao
That Girl that’s a little rebellious
What’s the point of shortening Church of England to C of E then proceed to type out the full thing.
Ewan H ikr
Probably because C of E is what it's known as colloquially, but the other 99% of humanity doesn't live near it, so they clarified for any potentially confused people.
Dudimus Prime so why bother writing c of e if only 1% of people are going to understand it
I LOVE how it always start of super funny and then the last half always gets more on the serious side and is an actual more strong message. its so cool to see his personality like that on stage
ive had this stuck in my head for days. Bo Burnham's works have treated my depression better than I ever did with medication.
I want 'there's a trillion aliens cooler than you' on a tshirt
SpiderLovinJess there's a sight you can design your own t shirt :D
Me too, Ima make shirts with Bo Burnam quotes.
I want "there's a trillion aliens cooler than me" on a t-shirt xD
Also “you’re not my children, you’re a bad game of sims” needs to be a shirt
JessicaBean I would pay $1,000 for that

"No one entertains the thought that maybe god does not believe in you"
Woo i know this is comedy show but that line hits harder than any lyric I've ever listened to.
"I created the universe. you think i'm drawing the line at the fucking deli aisle?"
samantha maney aisle is a stupid word!
Ciaran is a stupid word! (ITS NOT A WORD)
jim guzzle Ciaran is a name, in that case all names including Jim would be stupid words, and Jim is a stupid name, so simple and common JimBob Hillbilly.
Not eating pork actually comes from Pig being a fucked up thing to eat by nature I mean why the fuck would you want to eat something that eats It's own shit :D

This performance gave me chills multiple times: the voice, the lyrics... And the music is gorgeous. Just wanted to say it.
"But no one entertains the thought that maybe God does not believe in you"
Gave me shivers.
I can just imagine God sitting up on a holy cloud watching this show and just absolutely laughing his ass off
i think the face-palming, pinching his nose image suits better
Oh, You must be talking about *George Carlin

where you like what
Came here because of Spotify taking most of his songs away
yup same.
Lyrics!!!
There's things I don't, want to be misconstrued in my act that I feel often are
I don't want you leaving my show thinking, that I think I know better than people
Or that I, that I think I'm better than people in general, um
Okay, I just wanted to put that out there
Uh, this is a song from the perspective of God
The books you think I wrote are way too thick
Who needs a thousand metaphors to figure out you shouldn't be a dick?
And I don't watch you when you sleep
Surprisingly, I don't use my omnipotence to be a fucking creep
You're not going to Heaven
Why the fuck would you think I'd ever kick it with you?
None of you are going to Heaven
There's a trillion aliens cooler than you
You shouldn't abstain from rape just 'cause you think that I want you to
You shouldn't rape 'cause rape is a fucked up thing to do
Pretty obvious, just don't fuckin' rape people, please
Didn't think I had to write that one down for ya'
I don't think masturbation is obscene
It's absolutely natural and the weirdest fucking thing I've ever seen
You make my job a living hell
I sent gays to fix overpopulation, and boy did that go well
You're not going to Heaven
Eat a thousand crackers, sing a million hymns
None of you are going to Heaven
You're not my children, you're a bad game of Sims
You shouldn't abstain from pork just 'cause you think that I want you to
You can eat pork, 'cause why the fuck would I give a shit?
I created the universe, do you think I'm drawing the line at the fuckin' deli Isle?
You argue and you bicker and you fight
Atheists and Catholics, Jews and Hindus argue day and night
Over what they think is true
But no one entertains the thought that maybe God does not believe in you
You pray so badly for Heaven
Knowing any day might be the day that you die
But maybe life on Earth could be heaven
Doesn't just the thought of it make it worth the try?
My love's the type of thing, that you have to earn
And when you earn it, you won't need it
My love's the type of thing, that you have to earn
When you earn it, you won't need it
I'm not gonna' you love just 'cause I know that you want me to
If you want love then the love is gonna' come from you
Thank you very much

Honestly, one of the best songs on religion ever written.
Emma Reeves Did you forget about "Rant"
"that's why i love mankind" Randy Newman
George Kaftan That’s called being nondenominational, not catholic.
George Kaftan Christianity is flawed, nothing is beyond criticism.
George Kaftan The flaws of the people following a religion does not guarantee the flawlessness of the religion itself. The people following Christianity AND Christianity can both be flawed, as they are not mutually exclusive. I am claiming that they are both flawed, as there is no such thing as flawlessness.
"No one entertains the thought that God might not believe in you" Damn bro alright
"My love's the type of thing that you've got to earn, and when you earn it, you don't need it" I feel is a very overlooked yet important line
"No one entertains the thought that maybe God does not believe in you" is one of the most profound statements I've ever heard
It really is. I absolutely agree.
Fight Club has a similar line. Something like "if God exists, in all likelihood he doesn't care about you. In all likelihood, he hates you."
When shit gets real
Alacard0malley I totally agree
a 19 year old comedian wrote the most profound thing you've ever heard?
Now this is a god which I am willing to believe in. Not some guy who's always watching over your shoulder and keeping tabs on everything that you do, but someone who made us and just watches passively. Also, "no one entertains the thought maybe God does not believe in you" and "maybe life on Earth could be Heaven" are two of the best quotes from ANYTHING I've ever read, heard or seen.
Your comment made me think "Wow. God and Santa Claus have so much in common."
@@briannasimpson6891 they already do for me.
this is a god im willing to belive in too
If you seriously believe that God created the universe and watches passively but does not intervene in the life of you are others, that is an actual belief. It’s called deism. Deism is more of a philosophy than a religion, though.
@@duffymarie3322 deism is the most logical shit ever

I sent this to a Christian girl... she got really pissed. Like most people, she didn't realize the line that says "Maybe life on earth could be heaven... doesn't just the thought of it make it worth a try?" Or the part that says "My love's the type of thing you have to earn"..... I don't think she saw anything other than the semi-offensive things that are still true.
*thumb up*
+Abominable Snow Panda I have very mixed feelings about this song. I love for example the "maybe life on earth could be heaven" part, but strongly disagree with thing like "you're not my children" or "my love is something you need to earn"
well...I'm not a christian but I think people shouldn't take the offensive(yet quite true) part so seriously.
I actually think this song is giving us a great message, like don't just go on praying to god and help, do your shit yourself. Well, at least that was what me and my 3 christian friends thought.
+Abominable Snow Panda but actually, most christians believe that, that is something which is a christian value. to treat this world with love and care for it, like dominion or stewardship. but yeah, maybe consider people's feelings before sending crap. haha
Donsds Sds i didnt send it directly to her, i sent it to a group chat of about 30 kids that had her in it... i even said that it might be offensive
"...Maybe life on Earth could be Heaven. Doesn't just the thought of it make it worth a try? ...My love is the type of thing that you have to earn and when you earn it, you won't need it! I'm not going give you love just cuz I know that you want me to. If you want love, then the love has got to come from you!" These are some of THE most profound words I've ever heard! I literally shed a tear every time I hear it. Bo truly is in a class by himself!
You know its sad because these things are actually taught in church but people are too ignorant to hear it out. By the way I am not a believer I am just forced to go there. That's why I despise most of the people there because they always think they are wise to not fight or change and just believing in God itself or loving God only is letting them to heaven. Everyone just ignores these small details from Bible that make up so much for society.
If they can't respect or love others at their standard but only love someone really outstanding like God, what makes us all think God will love his followers? It's the government all over again or basically saying I believe in Superman. Funny isn't it?
it's #deep
"Bo truly is in a class by himself!" Ever heard of Tim Minchin?
+em diar
Yes, I have heard of Tim Minchin. And I enjoy his work very much. And while Bo and Tim may share a lot of similarities in their style of comedy, I find Bo's music more profound overall. But it's highly unlikely Bo will ever come close to Tim's piano playing ability. He's an absolute genius when it comes to tickling those ivories! I've commented before that a collaboration between the two of them would be absolutely epic! I'm sure they both were influenced by another great pianist satirist... the awesome Tom Leher!
+FOAD RIGHTNOW I love Tim's song if I didn't have you, he had some very profound lyrics really, but his clarity of speech causes alot of it to go unnoticed until after the third listen. I prefer bo, but maybe because I discovered and memorized him first. my aunt and uncle haven't heard of bo and I'm so excited about sharing his music with them:) I love being part of someone else's discovery of awesome
Religious people, if this song aggravates you a lot then the song is about you.

"No one entertains the thought that maybe God does not believe in you."
"Maybe life on Earth could be Heaven."
"If you want love then the love's gotta come from you."
Some of the most powerful lines I've ever heard.
Fr i love his standup because they're funny yet lowkey #deep
According to the comments, there was another line that was removed about how the real collection point to donate to God is that homeless guy’s plate
He 'hides' important messages in his songs
‘’I Don’t watch You when You sleep’’ Bo Burnham
That and "My love is something you need to earn, and when you earn it, you won't need it"
Moral of this song for the people getting stupidly offended: being religious doesn’t make you a good person
gotta be the easiest and most accurate way for me to share my religious stances with people
I like how he doesn't repeat stuff too often in his songs, except that one love song.
I loved this comment XD
lol

Ruby Rose So deep in fact... that I named this song... #deep
TheWayWill Nice reference.
TheWayWill Your references are out of control, bro. Everyone knows that.
I love how this song is highlighting the hypocrisy in religions. You shouldn’t not do bad things because a deity told you to, you should not do it because its morally wrong. You shouldn’t do good because it may be beneficial to you later, do it because its the right thing to do. Do things for you, not an idea
Anybody else here after this got removed from Spotify??
"You pray so badly for heaven, knowing any day might be the day you die.

Ya becouse if this is heaven then I'm scared what kind of place is hell?

This is hell, we need to make it heaven.
@@requiemlul3140
That's not gonna happen unless everyone gets wish granting powers.

It can, if people just chose to be nice to each other. The little things like a thank you already make the world a better place.

No. That's just making the world a better place. Heaven is perfect. Everyone can grant their wishes. Etc.
