From the chorus of ‘One of Us’ by Joan Osbourne, as covered in an episode of Glee recently too. These words are more poignant than ‘sacrilegious’:
‘And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeahWhat if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home’
Gods are like us,
when they are just as unenlightened.
Gods are unlike us,
when they are more enlightened.
