That's supposed to absolve your sins?

"If there's nothing but survival how can i believe in sin in a world that gives you nothing... We need something to believe in." (in These Days - "Something to believe in")

"(...) Then they took me to a preacher that they saw on their TV, who said that for a small donation my lost soul would be saved; I said I don't think so preacher, I'll come back another day..." (in Keep the faith - "Blame it on the love")

"These days the stars seem out of reach. These days there ain't a ladder on these streets. These days are fast, love don't last in this graceless age. There ain't nobody left but us these days..." (in These Days - "These days").

"I have a hard time with organized religion. How is it that a baby can die at birth and under catholicism he doesn't go to heaven because he has original sin until he's christened? How come if you go to confession, walk out the church and say God damn it! for some reason, then you get hit by a bus, no good, you go to hell?
How come they won't let women be priests? You got a priest makes his vows, he's skimming money, he's sleeping with little boys.
You go to mass three times a day, sing a song, put money in the plate, that's supposed to absolve you of your sins?"
