Agreed.thaesafhma wrote:one of the main points of that track and indeed the album is for boc to suggest something that i don't think anyone has ever really thought of before or at least not seriously.
everything the little kids say is standard god-fare, bland stuff that their parents have planted word for word in their little mouths. chilling if you really think about it. but what about the little girl who suggests
". . . and that's what would happen if God wasn't nice."
who the hell were HER parents? how did she ever think to question God's goodness of all things. I mean, God and good are synonomous. It's not even something you question.
i think all througout geogaddi that is exactly what boc is doing, positing the indistinction of god and the devil.
has anyone...

As a christian myself I totally agree. I don't think kids should be brainwashed that way, but rather let them make there own desisions about that. If I get a child, and he/she askes "where do we come from?" I'd answer with a "well, I believe..." rather pretending its a fact...its still faiththaesafhma wrote: everything the little kids say is standard god-fare, bland stuff that their parents have planted word for word in their little mouths. chilling if you really think about it.
.The same goes with the "where do baby's come from" question 
I truly believe thats the correct way of raising a child,in the religious context.
The same goes for athiests.Don't say, "well, 4.5 billion years ago, there was a big bang" but rather "well,I believe..."...its still faith
Correct me if Í'm wrong here...

I've caught myself oozing tears every once in a while after hearing it. It's funny how it's almost totally opposite the vibe of Geogaddi, yet at the same time, it isn't. It's like the "answer" to the question Geogaddi as an album is asking.zander two wrote:I love FOSATD. It's yet another track that is fairly simple in structure but has infinite depth. The synth bit alone is amazing, and the kid samples take it to another level.
Considering how good this one is, along with Macquarie Ridge, the brothers don't just slap some leftover track on for the Japanese releases, do they?
