Atheist Raps
02/17/2023 Click here for Spotify or Apple Music. This is my 31st official release. “Atheist Raps” is a rap about perspectives from an atheist. It’s an intellectually meditative track with an energetic beat. I’m sure Christians would think it’s controversial but it’s really about how Christianity doesn’t make any sense. I’ve been an atheist since 2005 although I went to a Catholic school.
The reason I don’t believe in Jesus is that it’s stupid and makes no sense. I guess I should say it’s illogical and not based on reason. They know this which is why Pastors will tell you it requires faith, which is the belief in something despite the lack of evidence. I don’t see blind faith in something that doesn’t make sense as a good thing, which is why I think Christians are stupid or at least have a purely emotional attachment to Jesus.
Check out the video above if you want to know and understand how we ended up with the myth of Jesus. It’s based on old myths of the sun like Horus and Dionysus who also was born of a virgin, died on a cross, and was resurrected. I talk about this in the context of today’s word of the day rhyme, to give further context. The truth is, Christians are atheists too. Christians deny the existence of other gods although they have devoted followers and just as many believers and “evidence.” Atheists just take denying god's existence just one god further.
Christians also have an heir of superiority. They think they are more moral because of the Ten Commandments and heaven and hell. The truth is if you're only doing things in your life because you're avoiding punishment rather than empathy, you're not acting morally. The Ten Commandments have nothing against rape, and the Bible not only contradicts itself but (at least) condones slavery.
If your religion makes you a better person that’s great, but it doesn’t mean you’re right. It requires faith because it doesn’t make logical sense. Just look up “the problem of evil.” And Pascal’s wager only justifies your belief in Christianity because you assume god exists with no evidence, otherwise if Jesus wasn’t god, you’re wasting your life. Conditions like these are why it takes religion for good people to justify doing evil.
“With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.” - Steven Weinberg
The state religion of ancient Rome was Roman mythology. It only changed because emperor Constantine changed it. Christians were persecuted before that, and Christianity was relatively unknown. Constantine did more for Christianity than Jesus or his disciples ever could. The video I left linked here is of a Christian scholar that turned atheist after realizing he couldn’t prove God’s existence and instead found there was no evidence for it.
I highly recommend you look into the story of Socrates' death who was made to drink hemlock by the state for corrupting the youth. It is similar to Jesus’s dissent without the sensational and subsequent blood cult and claims of divinity. Read “the trial and death of Socrates” By Plato. This song compliments “Bo Peep” which is why they came out in the same month. I bite a lyric from “Read 108,” specifically “ conscious magnetism, imagine the field” as I work in the reasoning at the end of the verse.

Lyrics:
This beat gon’ bang from hear to Ibiza
Tell me can you feel me coming out your speaker
Solo Dolo, I am my own feature
Autodidactic, I am my own teacher
This is what it like when an atheist raps
Big talk, provoked thought, no gimmick, just facts
Bigots tryna distract, but it’s really a trap
Cuz religion used to justify oppression and detract
The Bible is a myth, Jesus never lived
And he definitely wasn’t god even if he did
He’s really more like your imaginary friend
He’s just like Santa, those that believe are still kids
I got it and they get it
I’m the one that they mention
Kind of a menace
But I’m kind and value friendship
Like Plato’s republic
I do it cuz I love it
Make you contemplate the best way to run it
“The Death of Socrates” is more important than Jesus’s
But tell me how you’re cultured and what the reason is
Just don’t use blind faith, cuz that’s what it takes
To believe Jesus loved you, the bible condones slaves
Jesus was a liberal, hippie blowhard
That defied that state and loved with his whole heart
He was probably gay, hanging with twelve disciples
He probably did anal while writing the bible
I’m just kidding, the Bible wasn’t written
For decades after Jesus was living
It contradicts itself within it’s own bindings
But big cuz Constantine embraced the findings
This beat gon’ bang from hear to Ibiza
Tell me can you feel me coming out your speaker
Solo Dolo, I am my own feature
Autodidactic, I am my own teacher
This is what it like when an atheist raps
Big talk, provoked thought, no gimmick, just facts
Bigots tryna distract, but it’s really a trap
Cuz religion used to justify oppression and detract
The Bible is a myth, Jesus never lived
And he definitely wasn’t god even if he did
He’s really more like your imaginary friend
He’s just like Santa, those that believe are still kids
I’m smooth, cool, calm, and contentious
They’re fools, tools, stark and capricious
Christian ethics are morally inept
Yeah gay conversion therapy really isn’t best
You know me, I got the baddest bitch
The spiritual name of what the planet is
Gaia is the name your should stamp it with
Get to know Blue and go campin with him
Zeus is Jupiter, Aries is Mars
Celestial consciousness is written in the stars
And in the history of god, bring the story along
There’s billions of stars, Monotheism is wrong
Conscious magnetism, imagine the field
The sun provides energy and crops to yield
That’s more of a god than Jesus will ever be
Cuz The results are provided self-evidently
This beat gon’ bang from hear to Ibiza
Tell me can you feel me coming out your speaker
Solo Dolo, I am my own feature
Autodidactic, I am my own teacher
This is what it like when an atheist raps
Big talk, provoked thought, no gimmick, just facts
Bigots tryna distract, but it’s really a trap
Cuz religion used to justify oppression and detract
The Bible is a myth, Jesus never lived
And he definitely wasn’t god even if he did
He’s really more like your imaginary friend
He’s just like Santa, those that believe are still kids
