Darkness Of Christ Lyrics

Artist: Slayer
Album: God Hates Us All

Mankind in his insatiable search for divine
Knowledge has discarded all biblical teachings

Realizing that the strength of religion is the repression of
knowledge
All structures of religion have collapsed

Life prays for death
in the wake of the horror of these revelations

It was never imagined how graphic the reality that would
be known as the end
of creation
Would manifest itself

We believe all this chaos and atrocity can be traced
Back to one single event

We hold these truths to be painfully self-evident
All men are not created equal
Only the strong will prosper
Only the strong will conquer
Only in the darkness of Christ have I realized
God Hates Us All

Man, thats some kool shit.
by Danelle Garin on 8/22/2008 11:10pm
God doesnt hate us at all. The Creator even came into the world to die for us so that we may have eternal life and live it abundantly. It is satan who hates us all..he want to kill..he wants to kill...he doesnt want you to see the true light Jesus Christ, because if you do, you will be healed...God loves us all..very much..thats why He has this amazing grace for us....Satan wants to see us fall...satan wants to see all fall.....

seriously? I mean, really? So jesus christ, christianity, no blood on its hands right? All those other religions are wrong right? If there's a god, he's one fucked up piece of shit. Crusades? The european expansion into North America, indians were routinely killed for not worshipping the Christian god. There is more blood on the hands of Christians then any other religion. Even all this shit going on in the middle east, people rave about these fanatical muslims, LOOK AT ALL THESE FANATICAL CHRISTIANS, YOU ARE NO BETTER THEN THEM.
by Marty Doll on 9/7/2008 1:16am
Please christians are the stupidest people on earth. They believe they are better than every one else. Fuck god jesus and the whore mary. I ma an atheist. To many wars and lies, not ot mention pedophile preists, for me to believe. So long live Slayer and god does not exist
by mark on 9/14/2008 11:00pm
so u dont believe that god hates us all? ok lets look at religion u were created in his image to worship him and if u dont..u go to hell...man that right there is some choice......
by Alaz on 9/22/2008 11:56am
Christian friends, please watch "Zeitgeist" documentary. You can find it in Emule. It is made in 2007. All you need to see is in there.
by Anonymous on 12/9/2008 1:57pm
Yes you are all right Christians are probably the most violent religion in existance. No God does not hate us all. Sure Christians have the most violent nature so what...God doesn't hate us the people who made those decisions were HUMAN!, not divine. Then you will come back saying then why didn't he stop them? To respond to that God created us with free will. Free will wouldn't mean much if whenever we were doing something wrong he would stop it. I'm not Christian, I'm more agnostic but everyone has a choice in life.
by Ashheapp on 1/2/2009 3:50pm
Christians have a model of reality with which they can navigate. No better or worse than any other, just one they can work with. As for God, the nature of reality is totally indifferent to us, no malice, no benevolence, just indifferent. And in as much as it is indifferent it is ruthless.

Anyway, Slayer at least is decisive...The Mighty Slayer
by zey on 1/23/2009 4:33am
so pathetic. i understand their anger, but they shouldn't have put it this way. it's so alarming that a person like this really exist. fear God please.

good lyrics:)
by Slaytanic on 2/14/2009 11:14am
The holy truth about Christianity..
by Anonymous on 2/17/2009 10:33pm
Christians: Give up. No one here will care about your beliefs, don't expect anyone to change what they think because of what you say. Religion or indifference to it is a personal choice, not something to be forced. The band is trying to convey their personal feelings about religion, and it so happens that several people agree with them. Christianity has a long and bloody history, and some choose to follow the religion in spite of this, and some choose to recognize the darker areas of this faith. To each their own.

To summarize: SLAYER RULES!
by LOLURALLWRONG on 2/24/2009 10:14am
God is plenty real. There's much more proof of him then disproof (since any sensible person could understand that it's impossible to disprove a universal negative).

They lyrics are simply this:
-We've angered God
-God is done forgiving
-God's wrath is upon us
-God HATES US ALL!!

And no, they don't really believe that. Araya said in an interview "God doesn't really hate us all, but it makes an awesome title"
by Marley Himmelright on 3/24/2009 8:11pm
god cant hate us. he doesnt exist. no religion or spiritual path does. i dont argue with what the church and others try to teach, treat your fellow man well and so forth, but the practices of these groups are destroying the world. live your life through yourself, not the altered words of a carpenter who lived 4000 years ago in egypt.
by Shut the fuck up on 3/25/2009 2:26pm
It's just a pessimistic song, and we all need one of those.

It's fine for Christians to listen to this.
by me on 4/17/2009 8:12am
To Danelle Garin:
Go fuck yourself!
by cicimicilat0r on 4/18/2009 5:17pm
yea i also agree that god doesnt hate us,and i agree that christianity is some fucked lerigion with sad history,but god doesnt hate us and they put this shit in song probably becouse of pessimism :)
by Adolph on 4/20/2009 9:24pm
Danelle shut the fuck up!
by lol@everyone on 4/23/2009 12:14pm
Let's have a religious discussion on a lyrics page! That makes sense!
by Me on 5/14/2009 5:33pm
Seriously Daniel what sort of sacrifice is sending your only son (who is an extension of yourself) to die on earth for our sins. When your are a god!!! (lower case deliberate)Your eternal and know nothing of mortality??? (mortality and birth is fucking awesome BTW) Not really a sacrifice is it!? And I don't believe in the Devil either. But at least the Devil lets you find him instead of being bullied and threatened to accept the Christian God.
by Joe Christian on 5/24/2009 6:50pm
Kerry seems really bitter, he goes out of his way to attack religion it seems, its almost as if he wakes up one morning and says what religion bashing song can i right.....why doesn't he donate to a charity or write about the injustice of rape or domestic abuse...no its easier to say God hates us all rather can use his free will to spread love
by Matt on 6/4/2009 11:45am
Some of you are so fucking ignorant, I wanna kick my foot through your heads. Just shut the fuck up. Like LOLURALLWRONG said, Kerry doesn't actually believe god hates us all. He just claims its a kick ass album title. Sorry that offends all you nancy christians (take Joe Christian right above me, for example) but this is what Slayer is about. Live with it... I dispise going around hearing Christian music, a bunch of tools singing about something that has no positive proof of existing. Just shut the fuck up, and if it bothers you so god damn much, then stop listening to Slayer. They don't give a fuck.
by Lucavi on 7/25/2009 5:13am
Christians are the most butt ass backwards assholes in existence. They lie, cheat, steal and screw anyone and everyone over. The most common edifice in North America is the church and it's a major waste of money that the blind and desperate sheep of "Christ" dump into. Jesus was a fucking MAN and he died for HIS sins ~ NOT MINE! "The Creator even came into the world to die for us so that we may have eternal life and live it abundantly" That is the stupidest fucking statement I've heard in a long time! Get your fucking facts straight and pull your head out of your ass1 Christianity is a half-ass religion that elevates the elite and represses humanity as a whole.
by Ondier on 9/1/2009 10:15am
Bless these souls. Guide their lives.

May this world be destoyed in an inferno of nuclear haulocast that we all can finally find out what the afterlife holds.

DEATH TO HUMANS! o/

by Rod on 10/10/2009 1:59am
Who the fuck let all of these assholes into my Slayer lyrics page? Go fucking preach somewhere else, this isn't the place for it. Slayer fucking rules.
by Billy on 12/6/2009 11:45am
This is awsome... as time has progressed, it has become obvious that a 'God' is an impossible fairy tale rooted in violence and lies that was used to control. People now look to God because they cannot accept that they are not going anywhere when they die, that this is it. They're religion was made by lunatics who thought the earth was flat!
by allyssa on 12/14/2009 6:48am
fyi being a Christian and having your own religion is diff.
before you react know the truth evaluate everything ....
and being religious and being a Christian is another story....
better ask someone who know more about it don't act like you know everything.

btw peace is not the absence of war it is the absence of God...I never ask you to believe me....just thing beyond ...don't be narrow minded

"The truth will set you free"

first of all, god is not real. stop trying to convince us otherwise.

secondly, the song disciple, as slayer themselves said, isn't satanic. it's almost a joke. they said it's like when you've had a bad day, and you're stuck in traffic, and you're like, "god hates me right now." that's what the whole song is about.
by almafuerte@gmail.com on 2/18/2010 8:39pm
To all you clueless christian faggots:

This isn't satanic music. We DO NOT believe in God. Why? Because there's no god. And there's no satan either. In case you didn't knew, Santa ain't real either. No Alah. No Mohammed. No Angels. No such bullshit.

This is NOT satanic music. Slayer makes fucking fun of you fucking assholes. The lyrics are metaphors of what christianity does to your mind. None of us actually believe in hell either. when you hear something in a slayer lyric that you consider satanic, it's either a metaphor, or we are making fun of you.

Now go on and continue living your pathetic lives.

For so many the dollar and image has become their god, breaking the chief commandment of all. You can call him God, Allah, Yahwey or whatever, but I believe in the existance of something more devine than man. We suck. But Slayer rules!!!!
by Christoph on 4/30/2010 11:43am
Man I'm having a bad day. God must hate me today. There's a deep lyrical meaning for ya.
by NoCTuRNaL on 6/8/2010 6:59am
I m a muslim and I m a great fan of Slayer.. and I wrote most of the bullshit posts up there and what I can say all about; neither its about a religion nor belief.. it s about music! you feelin' me?

WE all believe in something... non-belief is even a sort of belief itself... it creates a link to the point of a Lord or a Creator.. we call him Allah and you callin sth else.. but we are humans and we should get pretty closed to each other.. than these bullshits will get scraped out of these paradigms and bullshit phenomenas..

"You can call him God, Allah, Yahwey or whatever, but I believe in the existance of something more devine than man. We suck."

This is one of the problems I have with Christians; you act like "hah, at least we don't think we're the center of the universe..." (just like we do*) with this "we believe in a higher being" crap, while all this bullshit in the Bible says everything was made for you. No, seriously; animals, for meat and company. Rainbows, for eyecandy. Even the whole fucking universe that is too big to comprehend. That vast, wasted space filled with stars and planets; all for you.



*Speaking for myself as an atheist, I don't even BELIEVE in the concept of a high/er or low/er being - we aren't the "high beings" in my book. We're just beings like the rest of them. Now shut up.
by Paul on 12/2/2010 3:26pm
God does not hate any of you. Evil is simply the absence of good, and God does not will evil over any of you. But, in order to maintain free will, God cannot force anyone to be good. If God forced goodness upon everybody, then free will would not exist. It is illogical to blame God for "hating us all" because humans choose to commit evil acts, not God.
by Slarmas on 1/6/2011 12:26pm
I have read all the comments and come to one conclusion. So to the Muslims, Christians, and Atheists and all who have commented, here is my brilliant observation. Slayer is the best band that I have ever heard, freaking ever. It is about the music, sit back relax and enjoy the genius of the Gods of Heavy Metal. The only song better than the last one is the next one, even if the next one is the last one. Think about it, Slayer has managed to be consistently in tune with absolute perfection since their inception. I will continue to buy their albums unheard because I know I will never be let down. What more can I say except hail Allah, hail Yahweh, hail nobody, but do it while listening to Slayer!! :)
by SLAYERTILLIDIE on 1/13/2011 5:15am
Stop arguing about religion, the music is fucking amazing, if you dont like it GTFO
by I don't give a cat. on 1/22/2011 10:57pm
Slayer is a great band.
by Obviously... on 3/3/2011 10:52am
Wait back up a bit...
Its the 21st century, and you actually belive in god?
I guess you belive in santa and the Loch ness monster to then.

OPEN YOUR EYES!

i find the vast majority of the comments above full of anger and of hatred. these are not coming from external sources. they are coming from within. it means a lot of people have never experienced kindness, compassion, and care. i find that very sad.
by Jasonfromsa on 5/30/2011 4:31pm
I think all the above people put together have probably maybe read one chapter of the bible in there entire lifetime, and that out of context as well. This is really entertaining hearing people say stuff about a God they know absolutely nothing about. Slayer are probably more "christian" than a lot of catholics,Judaists,crusaders, end time trash preachers etc.... Just the fact that everyone is getting so moist about the topic is proof enough for me that God exists. Christ died for the sins of the world, he see's no ones sins anymore, its now a matter of life or death.... choose life and live!! Thats real heavy metal for ya!! I better go now, I sense wobble attack coming, bless u all, especially Slayer.

Lets all rememeber when this album was released...9-11-2001...coincidence?
by metal dave k on 4/16/2012 9:16pm
its called fucking entertainment. not my religious soap box
by kecske on 4/17/2012 7:33pm
god hates us all!
by God hates us all on 6/17/2012 9:12am
Come on guys, christianity is a very modern and human-orientated thing...

...compared to the 3rd century :P
by God on 6/22/2012 3:46pm
yes damn it, i hat you all !!!
I should have listened to lucifer.
by metal mike on 7/24/2012 4:23am
metal dave k is absolutly right..it's only entertainment..if you can't understand that, then put your blinders back on and follow your god or whatever "higher power" helps you sleep at night
by lilphill on 2/14/2015 6:53am
Wow, the first comments I see are about the crusades? Someone's touchy. Just so you know, historically the crusades were a response to the rapid growth of Islam and it's violent take over of the known world of the time. It was actually a defensive move....Still not saying it wasn't a bad thing. Though I'm still wondering at how Christianity can be attributed as the most violent religion when Jesus's teachings are about loving your neighbor as your self. (Every religion has had it's name been used for evil, even if the religion doesn't preach evil)
