You're such an inspiration
For the ways that I will
Never, ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How your savior has abandoned you
Fuck your God, your Lord, your Christ
He did this, took all you had and
Left you this way, still you pray, never stray, never
Taste of the fruit, never thought to question "Why?"
It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you...
He did it all for you...
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How your dogma has abandoned you
Pray to your Christ, to your God
Never taste of the fruit, never stray, never break, never
Choke on a lie even though he's the one who
Did this to you, you never thought to question "Why?"
It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to Jesus Christ as if he knows the reasons why
He did it all for you...
He did it all for you...
He did it all for yo

Review about Judith 1 | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/5/10
I agree with the comment below me, it's a simple confliction of beliefs. It applies to anybody who's been alone in the dark and never heard any whispers. The imagination is a powerful tool, if you put a child in a controlled enviroment until this child grew to be an adult. Whatever items you gave him or ideas you talked about will flourish in his mind. Eventually these mental instruments would develop into his own logical base of thoughts thus creating his own belief system. This could be as simple as worshipping a door-knob so it will someday open itself. Take a step back, think about it. If god does not exist then religion is still a scary yet fascinating facade that a majority of people hold strong, lifelong convictions with.

First off The title Judith has nothing to do with religeon. Judith, is his mothers name. His mother is very into religeon even after she was paralyzed. He is trying to understand why she still believes in a god or a Jesus Christ after her paralization. He then says f**k your god lord and Jesus Christ because after her years of faithfulness she got repaid by being paralyzed and he doesn't understand why she still has faith. Wow it is that simple. I don't know why you all start getting religous.

Religion as a metaphor | Reviewer: biopaint | 1/14/10
This song really seems to use religious terms as a metaphor only. The ‘you’re God, you’re Christ’ parts seem to refer to an all powerful figure who the subject of the song, Judith, is devoted to as if this person was a god. Really most religions can fit this metaphor because they all seem to involve a certain level of unquestioning devotion.
Of course this person is nothing like the kind and just God depicted in any of the branches of Christianity. The song is about an abusive relationship where Judith is the one being abused yet she is devoted to her abuser as if he/she was a God.
I can relate to this song really well. My brother is trapped in an abusive relationship. Me and my family are trying to get him away from his girl friend but nothing we can do seems to help. He is devoted to her as if she was a deity.
Religion | Reviewer: Leon | 1/14/10
If Ken can show me the scientific proof that Jesus was alive again three days after his dead I will convert instantly. Not sure why we should have respect for somebodies religion. e.g, why should I have respect member of the Roman Catholic church, knowing what in their name has been done. Would you respect my choice as being a neo-nazi? deus_absconditus explanation is what it is. Period.
explanation | Reviewer: deus_absconditus | 1/5/10
This song was originally written as an open letter to his mother. She had a cruel man who always smashed and later left her.
She never questioned blaming her god, and that was, what made him so angry and hateful towards religion...
Much ado about Judith... | Reviewer: Vixen | 12/28/09
Everyone is waging war over a song that was clearly written by a very emotional man... Maynard's lyrics are often those that make you think and are open to interpretation but I don't think he meant for this to cause war between fellow fans or people who have heard the song. I think that if religion didn't exist in the first place, there wouldn't be a bunch of people getting offended by this song... but that's just my opinion and since religion DOES exist and Maynard did become angry enough to write this song about it, we should respect and see it or what it is: Maynard's personal emotional experience put into song. People shouldn't be so quick to judge and condemn others over it, but rather try personally identify with it and if they cannot, leave it alone.. Why don't you people stop religious warfare on a song's discussion board and instead do just that? You don't agree wth Maynard and cannot relate? Awesome... Leave his art alone then. I fail to see how it is that mentioning religion in a song suddenly gives people the right to shove their belief's down other people's throats. Religion is such a touchy subject - you honestly don't see people getting so hectically wound up over any other subject - and Maynard could have written beautifully metaphoric lyrics about a young girl who trusts in her teddy bear to take her tears away every time her heart breaks, and you'd see people of all religions adoring the song. But because he put this out there so blatantly people decide that it's not interpretable. If you think about it openmindedly, the main theme of this song is about trusting something or someone even though they give you no reason to do so and how that trust is seen through the eyes of someone who hurts when you do every time that trust is betrayed. Stop using the usage of 'God' as an excuse to be a judgemental bigot. Look at the bigger picture - you didn't write this song so you don't have to try defend YOUR faith, unless this song made you change your mind? To those who say they are Christians and like this song - I admire you and wish we had more open minded Christians like you around. To the non-believers that continue to bash religion in this discussion; you aren't acheiving anything. You are supposed to give your opinion on the song and not religion. I think this is a very haunting song and I really enjoy listening to both Tool and A Perfect Circle.
Ancient Roman Historical Documents | Reviewer: Ken Santarelli | 12/26/09
Actually, there are non-Christian ancient historical documents from the Roman Empire that make mention of a man, named Jesus (or Joshua) that was known as a teaching among the Jewish people, he died via crucifixion, the judge that presided was named Pilate, and 3 days after his crucifixion, he was alive again. THESE ARE NON-CHRISTIAN HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS! Look for yourself if you don't believe me. I'm a man who demands scientific, archeological, and historical proof before trusting any statements, and my demands were satisfied. The only reason you demean the name of Jesus is because you haven't done the research for yourself....or perhaps you're in denial....
MJK's mom had aneurism when he was 11 and couldn't care for him; the song is about that, the fact she still kept her faith...don't really much blame him and for those bible thumping peices of ignorant @#$%#@...grow up and get a life-really! This musice is way too smart for you.
Reviewer: asd: "but it's been proved that jesus existed"
-------------
Please site your sources.
I'm *far* from an expert on this subject but the only historical documents I am aware of that "prove" his existence are biblical references which were written years after his "death". These documents only make reference to a individual named Jesus but to my knowledge there is no proof that he is nothing more than a fictional character. If I'm wrong please correct me.
