Merlo - Religulous [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Intro:

Why is faith good? Why is believing something without an evidence good?

I think being without faith is something that’s a luxury for people who are fortunate enough to have a fortunate life

Strophe 1:

Wänns en Gott git macht er einiges verchehrt
Ich glaub mier wäred besser dra, wänn keine ihn verehrt
Für euch isch es heiligi Schrift für mich eigentlich e Gschicht
Wo nur erfunde isch und Opfer findet i dä Underschicht
Sie git eifachi Antworte uf komplexischti Frage
Schaltet s’rationelle dänke ab, versetzt in Exstase
Dini Sünde z’beichte git der au kein Heiligeschii
Sie vertraued uf Gott, anstatt mal eifach uf sich
Es söll niemer behaupte es gäb kei Chrieg wägem Glaube
Wart nöd uf es göttlichs Zeiche, öffne lieber mal d’Auge
S’lauft einiges falsch, da nützt au keis Vaterunser
S’wird pädophili Prieschter gäh bis au dä Papst cha bumse
Wänns nachem Wille gaht vo Rom, gits weder Pille na Kondom
Aber alli die Schöfli schwümmed immer mit em Strom
Mächtige Männer mached Politik im Name vo Gott
Ihr glaubed wiiterhin a d’Erlösig und all die Gebot
Ich wott kei religiösi Mänsche meh gseh a dä Machthebel
Vo Nögschteliebi rede und dänn doch nur Hass predige
Bi Fraue i dä Chille lauft dene Herre dä Angschtschweiss
Homosexualität isch anschiinend ja e Chrankheit
Glaube ersetzt s’dänke, e eigni Meinig häsch nie
Das gaht vo dä Chrüüzzüüg bis zum Heilige Chrieg
Nöd müesse überlegge macht d’Mänsche schiinbar glücklich
Religione sind nüt anders als es Mittel zur Underdrückig

Refrain:

Schänk eus din Glaube au du wirsch erlöst
Himmel und Höll – Guet oder Bös
You know that shit it fucking religulous, fucking religulous, fucking religulous


2. Strophe:

I certainly honestly believe religion is detrimental to the progress of humanity
You know it’s just selling an invisible product. It’s too easy
These questions about what happens when you die they so freak people out that they will just make up any story and cling to it
Things that they know it can’t be true
People who are otherwise so rational about everything else and then they believe that on Sunday they are drinking the blood of a 2000 year old guy
The plain fact is, religion must die for mankind to live
The hour is getting very late to be able to indulge in having in key decisions made by religious people
By irrationalists
Faith means making a virtue out of not thinking. It's nothing to brag about
And those who preach faith, and enable and elevate it are intellectual slaveholders, keeping mankind in a bondage to fantasy and nonsense that has spawned and justified so much lunacy and destruction
Religion is dangerous because it allows human beings who don't have all the answers to think that they do
Most people would think it's wonderful when someone says, "I'm willing, Lord! I'll do whatever you want me to do!"
Except that since there are no gods actually talking to us, that void is filled in by people with their own corruptions and limitations and agendas
If you belonged to a political party or a social club that was tied to as much bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, violence, and sheer ignorance as religion is, you'd resign in protest
To do otherwise is to be an enabler, a mafia wife, for the true devils of extremism that draw their legitimacy from the billions of their fellow travelers
The only appropriate attitude for man to have about the big questions is not the arrogant certitude that is the hallmark of religion, but doubt
Doubt is humble, and that's what man needs to be, considering that human history is just a litany of getting shit dead wrong
