Foo Fighters - Echoes Silence Patience And Grace

Sounds like a wholesome day in the life of a religious child.

First off, fun! We're going to go down to church and listen to the echoes of the reverend's voice as he bores us to tears.

Then there'll be a short bit of silence while we think about how lucky we are that God doesn't afflict us with terrible diseases and how He doesn't blight our lives with some needless war right on our doorstep.

Then patience. A fun-packed three hours of solitary card games, all the while thanking God for making us the 'correct' ethnicity.

Finally, grace. A massive, painfully-long, tearful thank you to God for letting us be born in a rich society whose wealth is built on the suffering and exploitation of less-fortunate nations.

Religious people are dicks. Foo Fighters aren't religious. Dave Grohl seems nice. And smart. He's not religious.
