There is no god

Brothers and sisters, have you heard the news?
The storm has lifted and there’s nothing to lose,
So swap your confirmation for your dancing shoes,
Because there never was no God.
Step out of the darkness and onto the streets,
Forget about the fast, let’s have a carnival feast,
Raise up your lowered head to hear the liberation beat,
Because there never was no God.

There is no God,
So clap your hands together,
There is no God,
No heaven and no hell.
There is no God,
We’re all in this together,
There is no God,
So ring that victory bell.

No cowering in the dark before these overbearing priests,
Not waiting until we die until we restitute the meek,
No blaming all our failings on imaginary beasts,
Because there never was no God.
No fighting over land your distant fathers told you of,
Not spilling blood for those who have never spread a drop of blood,
No finger pointing justified by fairies up above,
Because there never was no God.

There is no God,
So clap your hands together,
There is no God,
No heaven and no hell.
There is no God,
We’re all in this together,
There is no God,
So ring that victory bell.

And I know you’re scared of dying man and I am too,
But just pretending it’s not happening isn’t gonna see us through,
So just accept that there’s an end game and we haven’t got much time,
And then in the here and now we can try and do things right.
Forget about the crazy things that people have believed,
And think of wondrous things that normal people have achieved,
‘Cos I’ve known beauty in the stillness of cathedrals in the day,
I sang Glory Hallelujah! Won’t you wash my sins away?
But now I’m singing my refrain and this is what I say,
I say there never was no God.

I love this song. Frank Turner, you complete me. I am getting really frustrated on this topic. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, and this is mine:

I don't understand how you can say that a figure in history controls your life and actions. I mean, if "god" was a real thing or person, why on earth is it depicted in so many different ways? A person or figure is one definite body or structure. Nothing is everywhere except oxygen. And even if you believe all the stories, how can you say that this god thing is what gives you the power to do great things? Everything we do has to do with our own willpower and talent that WE are born with or acquire. It is your passion and drive. Not your belief and dedication to this figure. It just makes me extremely uncomfortable and annoyed when people tell me to "pray for them". Especially when it's for something having to do with their work or art. No, I'm not going to fucking pray for you to do well with your art. That's up to you to create beautiful work, make contacts to come to see your art, and simply have the passion for what you do. Yes, other people may influence your work, but when it comes down to it, those things are dependent on YOU, not anybody or anything else. I don't have an issue with people believing what they want, but I really don't think I could ever be close friends with somebody who is extremely religious. I don't think I could handle hearing so much about how jesus and god has saved them and affected them. Believe what you want, but I think it's all a load of crap and I don't think I'd get along well with people with such strong beliefs the opposite of me. Actually, I can't even think about this anymore, it frustrates me so much.
