Therapy? are Jesus Freaks!!

Hehe, just needed a little eye catcher there for the headline.

I just noticed that there are quite a few biblical references in Therapy?-lyrics, especially from the Troublegum/Infernal Love-era.

“you just wanna be Jesus without the sufferin’”
“your ass like Jesus’ feet, worth kissin’”
“you only mean it, ‘cause you look like Jesus”
“you’re storming heaven without God”
“judas judas i thought you were my friend…”
“there’s nothing darker than love that’s gone sour, Satan’s spit”
“God kicks with both feet and keeps his shoes clean”

And of course
“christ, sin it’s all that you know”
“hey satan - you rock!”

These ones just off the top of my head. Any more lyrics with such references?

The whole of “God Kicks”

And “Heavens Gate” (from Semi Detached) was the name of a religious cult that committed mass suicide

I like the ‘biblical’ references, they work. They are witty. They are dark. It makes it deeper.
