the end of faith

At some point during the period in which I wrote the 'Don't Tell
Columbus' songs, I was also writing a tune called 'The End Of Faith,'
a number born of my disdain for religion, and therefore much too
literal for the more balanced, ...
I love the psychedelic sound of the

lines ever. The end song faith can also make my eyes weep as well.
This is a heavy lp with a lot of heavy emotions. ...
The End of Faith

Like Dawkins, the rant just sort of fizzles
out at the end. Now, on one hand, it's a good thing that so many
