I'm not a huge fan of the song, but I like it. But I have beef with people who are offended by the line "just prayed to a god that I don't believe in". The radio awkwardly splices another line over it and I heard another version where the girl changed the line to "just prayed to a god that I DO believe in".
Really?
Admittedly, I was a little wary of the line at first - wouldn't it be a little blasphemous to say that? Like you pray but don't really think God exists?
But then I thought about it. I do believe God (capital G) exists. But there are other gods (little g) that I don't believe in. Examples?
And to be honest, I might be inclined to pray to someone like Venus if I thought it'd help me at all.
Basically I think that it's totally bogus for people to get all funny about that particular song lyric.
Best possible choice of a picture of Zeus. Ever. I love his face.
