The lines "you should hide your kids / while the dogs run wild" reminds me for obvious reasons of "Wild Pack Of Family Dogs", anybody think theres a link? I think there's probably a continuation of the theme, but not like they tell continuations of a story or anything

definatly about how religion is becoming a so comercialized that its pratically so distorted that it has lost all real meaning.. its like religion is just a night of halloween trick-or-treating, free candy anyone?

The song reflects Brock's atheist veiws by implying that Jesus or Religion caused the world's troubles and if Joseph had killed jesus more people would be happier present-day than they are now. i guess.

Just to let you know, If he knew nothing about what was going to happen before it happened, and he knows now what he knew then, he knows nothing... hope thats not confusing...

Jesus Christ was famous for walking on water and also turning water into wine. If Jesus could turn water into wine, he could turn a river into a river of booze. That would be a hell of a party. That is what I think of when I think of this song.

Baileyrox... your idea is good. Except the end line "Should have killed that little fucker // Before he even had". Joseph didn't end up killing Jesus. Yaweh preordained that Jesus had to die in that fashion... thus had him killed.
