No Jesus Christ lyrics by Seether

The song itself is ambiguous and targeted at a person the audience can't possibly know. But in response to firestar; how exactly does one go about getting one's own beliefs? There is nothing new under the sun, so in other words, everything you think is derived from something you learned somewhere else. There are no original thoughts. By that simple fact, we are all followers of something, so why not Jesus? You can't slam people for being followers since even leaders are followers of someone or something in the past. Anyone that says they're thoughts are unique is either a deceiver or deceived. Everything you do someone else did, the only choice in the matter is what world view you'll believe and who you'll follow. So lay off religious people. Everyone is a hypocrite, but at least religious folks realize it enough to turn to religion for redemption.

it doesn't sound like anyone knows for sure what the song is about exactly. maybe he thinks someone is being self-righteous by supposedly finding Christ? who knows. However, i feel the need to point out some things in other people's remarks. one cannot legitimately criticize any Christian without acknowledging their standard as the correct one; if so, you have then placed yourself under it because it is a universal standard and exclusive. if you honestly think that everyone has a right to believe what they want then that also includes those who believe in shoving religion down your throat; if that's what they believe. to say that Christians shouldn't play a role in government or reflect their ideas in government is completely unfounded discrimination. by what authority would you claim that other worldviews people have are acceptable but the Christian worldview is not? are you not trying to now persuade others into your belief? why shove it down our throat?...nevertheless, the songwriter sounds as though he is not ready to forgive whoever it is that has wronged him. but, if we all lived in that way (unforgiving) what kind of world would we live in. and, if anyone wants to criticize Christ, perhaps its a good idea to go directly to the sources (Bible) and see what is revealed about Him there. fools tend to make their folly known...

I agree with rudefish.Firestar, you are most definitely entitled to your own opinion, but I personally do not believe that Seether is targeting Christians, specifically. I believe the song refers to religious extremists as a whole. People who take religion much much to far, or try to force their opinions down other people's throats instead of respecting one another's right to their own personal belief system. But then again, that is, in part, what this song means to myself. Viewed by society, I believe that this song is about ignorance and fear and 'jumping onto the band wagon' religiously. No, no...Again, I am interpreting the song through my own opinion of it. Overall, this song is about how people need to respect one another's personal belief system, as stated before, and how humanity needs to realize that in a way, every religion is right, if it works for you personally. I apologize if this 'interpretation' makes no sense whatsoever. My mind is quite scattered about this topic.

PS one doesnt have to be a Christian to be self-righteous.. i find it very interesting tho just HOW defensive some ppl get about Christianity.. if we're meant to accept you for who and what u are, how about some reciprocation..? i think indirectly thats also what the song is about...

firestar... be careful dude... i am CERTAINLY not a religious 'freak' as u so eloquently call them, but i think i would get my facts straight if i were you, before you post something COMPLETELY random on the Net and embarrass urself! where did Jesus EVER sin.. pray-tell?

as far as the meaning of the song.. i dont think he's speaking to Christians at all.. i think he's generally saying take the thorn out of ur eye before u judge me..

i agree with Raichu & Jonathon.. besides, he's saying 'you're no Jesus' connoting that Jesus IS perfect, and no one else is.. geez, its not that difficult! even Seether admits it!

firestar.. take heed of these lyrics urself perhaps.. before u put ALL Christians in the same pot, eh?
