      This! Believe Me was very good but I think I felt that way because I knew the backstory from following Rhett & Link's deconstruction etc. This song is truly beautiful and something I'd have liked with or without the GMM fandom.

Your views on the things and the way you talk about and describe your family is a huge motivator for my wife and I to attempt to build a family different than the ones we were born into. I can’t wait to make sure she hears this when she gets home from work.

    I picked up on it first thing
    You weren't like the ones I'd known
    Mighta been from the same place
    But coming from somewhere all your own
    A few hours on a wooden bench
    That's all it took to do me in
    Knew then had to make it quick
    Before I made us fall into sin
    Said I don't know where we're going
    But I know I want you to go with me
    Don't care much about the destination
    As long as you're there that's where I wanna be
    The talking took a different tone
    And started to make you cry
    What if there's no way for us to know
    What happens when we die
    The blur from those tears faded
    And you saw it for yourself
    Hard truths all turned to maybes
    And more than a savior we needed help
    Said I don't know where we're going
    But I know I want you to go with me
    Don't care much about the destination
    As long as you're there that's where I wanna be
    A move west to the Devil's town
    Losing old and making new friends
    Finally put our crosses down
    And watched those two boys start to turn to men
    So much we'd been warned about
    Ended up being pretty good
    I keep waiting for the bottom to drop out
    Like we said it would
    Still don't know where we're going
    But I know I want you to go with me
    Caring less and less about the destination
    As long as you're there that's where I wanna be
    I'd like to go back to the old us
    Take your hand and say it's all gonna be okay
    We could only do what they told us
    Without that who knows who we'd be with today
    I don't know where we're going
    But I know I want you to go with me
    Don't care much about the destination
    As long as you're there that's where I wanna be
    As long as you're there that's where I'm gonna be 🤟

      It isn't a bad thing to have a set of morals and feel a greater good watching over you. They are only spiteful because of the religion type and people they were around. Stop considering religion as joining a cult and make it your own. God isn't the enemy, it's people who misinterpret or force their idea of what god should be onto others. Otherwise you can join the California cult of depression, anxiety, and lack of direction.

His love in unconditional, which includes your membership to a community that does not nurture the love and support for all His children. He gave us free will and so long as you continue to do your best to be kind and love others, you are still living the life He intended for you.

    There is an old skit/song from Steve Martin, "Atheists have no songs". In that same tradition, songs and art about atheism and agnosticism have been comedic, or angry, or both, from Carlin yelling at the priests, to Burnham pretending to be god, to lamenting the fact that we have no songs. Well, Rhett, you have given us those songs Steve asked for, complete with the anger, the feeling of jumping off the invisible bridge of faith, the acceptance of the scarlet letter given to us by the faith, and the struggle with brushing off the human need for truth and meaning, yet instead of comedy you give us raw and true emotion, and a new sense of belonging.
