You say that you are "Catholic"
What exactly does that mean
You eat fish on Friday
Instead of eating meat?

You say that you are "Baptist"
And the Bible is the infallible truth
I don't see how that is possible
In the actions that you choose

You say that you are "Jewish"
One of Gods chosen few
I never would have guessed that
By much of what you do

You say that you are "Muslim"
And that you pray three times a day
I'm not sure that helps that much
Watching what you do and say

I'm not here to bash religions
That's not what I mean to do
Just want to open up some eyes
And myself I will include

We talk up a good religious game
Then live our lives like hell
And that's what an unbelieving world my friend
Simply finds unbelievable
The last two lines were loosely taken from a quote off the album Jesus Freak by DC Talk
