To me the song seems to paraphrase the eternally ignored (by the devout)
question:

	If God is ALL POWERFULL, why is there so much suffering and
	evil in the world?

ie, if He is all powerfull, He should be able to undo any effort of
the devil and make life a bowl of cherries.  

Maybe he just enjoys watching us suffer...

				a humanist?  OH NO!
