I don't know if I'll ever be rich, but that sounds good to me too.

You are welcome, TAC!

The song was intended as a slam against the subset of Republicans who have adopted policies to appease religious right, and in doing so, redefined God as the character described in the song.

It's supposed to be taken as the sarcastic imaginings of how such a person would earnestly describe his God's values.

But I would love to hear about your perceptions of the song.

Oh, and for more, if anyone is interested, visit:
The Pat McCurdy Web Site
Most of his songs are just funny and a little raunchy, few are political.

For a while there, I was pondering marketing a bumper sticker reading "God hates people who are different."

That's a GREAT line!

I have seen one that reads "My God can beat up your God." on more than a few bumpers here. I bet that guy made a pretty good buck on it. Go for it!
