17. All Gog's Creatures Got a Place in the Fire

Some in the pot, some in the fryer
Some just burn right there in the pyre
Some just flop around a lot.
Or bubble in the pot.

That's my parody verse.

These seemingly harmless songs that use mythology to control people, as do the churches that help think them up are more mythological propaganda that is used to control the masses.
Music may "bring people together," but for what purpose? If it's for a religious purpose it is no doubtingly a way to gain control of them. These insidious religions use all sorts of ways to do this. They typically use fear and mythology, but they will resort to less offensive measures to gain control of their masses, to get them to do their bidding.

Yes, music can be shared, but I, for one am appalled when I hear this stuff.
Though you may not agree with me, it's my story, and I'm sticking with it.
