Dear God - XTC Cover by Shift video free download
Cover of XTCs 'Dear God'. This is our interpretation of XTCs atheistic song 'Dear God', an awesome some with a great message - 'religion is silly'. Ever since first hearing it we've been wanting to cover it and it seemed to be begging for the metal treatment!
Our version appears on our EP 'Watch It Burn' as part of the paid content. Both the free EP and the paid versions are available from our site: http://www.shiftband.net
When we play covers we like to put our own stamp on them and change things around a bit rather than just play a straight copy, so hopefully we've captured the essence of the song and done it justice, but keep that in mind when listening.

This is a song NOT an atheistic kind of Gospel. Grow up! It's just music and it's here to listen to. Comment on the music if you choose but spare us the over zealoue preaching. Those that want to believe will and those that don't...well, figure it out for yourself, old chap!11 years ago

@GodisTruthseekTruth 4. Therefore God is not omnipotent. 5. Therefore since omnipotence is part of the essence of God in which underlies his simplicity, God does not exist12 years ago

@GodisTruthseekTruth 1. Either God can provide the existence of a God greater than he is or he can not 2. If God can provide the existence of God more powerful than he is, then he is not omnipotent (because a more powerful God could potentially do more than him) 3. If God cannot provide the existence of a God more powerful than he is, then he is not omnipotent (because it would be a limit to his power to do such thing)12 years ago

@GodisTruthseekTruth To reject something you have to believe it exists. Plus your name is silly, seeking truth will inevitably lead away from religion.12 years ago

@GodisTruthseekTruth : Something to think about. FAR FROM PEACEFUL. HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE NATIVE AMERICANS? YOUR PEACEFUL AND PROSPEROUS RELIGION HAS BEEN THE CATALYST FOR GENOCIDE, BIGOTRY, SEXISM, SLAVERY,INCEST,& PEDOPHILIA. READ YOUR BIBLE. IT'S ALL IN THERE.12 years ago

There's no proof of God true, however the universe shows us nothing but intelligent design, whether you refer to the designer as "God" is a choice. I refuse to. here's my favorite argument about God: We live our lives based on a book we know is incomplete, was written 400 years after Christ died and has been changed countless times. Your only defense is to say people have been worshipping Christ for 2000 years? So what? The Egyptians worshipped cats for 5000! What's your point?Related Videos
