It's such a contrast to certain kinds of pop evangelical Christianity, which if you step back more closely resembles new age fads and other shallow movements.
A young man sittin' at a desk with a wooden chair
In what appears to be a high school class
He can see a battlefield, there's giants everywhere
Sayin' the Bible is a thing of the past
In this new age you believe what you wanna believe
'Cause God is whatever you want it to be
And I can hear Mrs. Keen [Sunday school teacher from verse 1] gently say
The God of the past is still God today
Of course, we were still selective about which parts of the Bible we really took seriously.
