Radix Malorum Est Fidelitas

from Whence Cometh Evil? by Christgrinder

/

about

Radix Malorum Est Fidelitas, Religio Venena Omnia:

Faith is the root of all evil, religion poisons everything.

This song was inspired by the personnification of Jesus as "The Prince of Peace", who has absolutely nothing to do with all that nasty business in the Old Testament that is so often swept under the rug as 'allegorical' by modern apologists.

There is... some dissonance between this reading of scripture and Jesus's actual mission statement. To quote the man himself:

Matthew 10:34

"Think not that I come to bring peace to the world; I bring not peace, but a sword. I come to set man at variance with his son, and mother against her daughter, and mother in law against her daughter in law, and he that loveth father and mother more than me, is not worthy of me. I come to set the world ablaze, would that it were already kindled."
