We like most of this song, but some of the lyrics lose logical sense.
Our God is a nasty God
He reigns from heaven above
He tortures those that disagree
And they burn in Hell for eternity
Our God is a jealous God
He rules from heaven above
He made lots of rules for you to see
But they get waived if He says okey
Our God is a tyrant God
With judgment and wrath all the time
Mercy and grace if you tow the line
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is a vicious God
He rules from heaven above
He tortures those that disagree
And they burn in hell for eternity
Our God is one mean old God!
Our God will bring you to your knees
God, give us tough dictator, please
He'll treat use us all like yesterday's trash
But we'll thank him as we take the lash
Our God is a wonderful God!

Actually, Hannah B, the Qur'an very explicitly describes the torture and it's actually the Islamic Hell that most Christians have deluded themselves into thinking is what the Bible describes for the simple fact that they haven't bothered to read the whole thing. This parody of the song leads one to think it is an actual attack on Christianity when it is actually an attack on false religion based on ignorance. Unfortunately there is a tremendous lot of that in this country.

Hestia's_Priestess: We always thought Morgoth was Sauron's master. Sauron is Der Feurer, but Morgoth is his "God."
Of course, a truly deceptive Satan or Morgoth would parade about as God or Jesus while preaching hate and tyranny. For example, anyone setting oneself up as a dictator (check published executive orders for May 9, 2007) probably isn't really doing that via any concern for love or forgiveness.
When someone does abuse religion that way, our feeling is "spare the rod, spoil the child." In this case, we avocate that the defenders of the Republic beat the incipid idea of a "Christian" dictatorship hard, often, and until the notion is completely beat out the skulls of those fools that would empower the tyrants. Either that or rise up in such a threat that they fear to tread here at all. That's what the 2nd Amendment is for, after all. Real conservative Christians HATE "neoliberalism."

The political correctness advocates are duly noted and I have no more respect for you if you eliminate this question than I did before. It's you closemindedness and one-sided use of political correctness I despise the most. Had you half the wit of some of the other answerers here, you'd get the joke and have a witty repost, but you don't so you don't.

And never mind that if you bothered to read the lyrics of said song being spoofed that you would notice just how much hate is there even without an edit:

Now is that Morgoth Bauglir or Sauron Gorthaur you are describing here?

And who said that God actually does burn people in hell for eternity? Don't just the churches of "Christians" claim this?

Wow....this is just another prime example of the lack of tolerance and respect in this nation. I am a Christian, and if you choose not to believe as I do I am not going to put you down, but this right here is truly ignorance. Dont criticize something unless you fully understand it. I respect all people for what they are, even if they dont believe as me, and I just feel sorry for you

I looked it up, and there's no place where it says Jesus. Sorry!
