Penn State's Joe Paterno statue: The way, the truth and the light?
My religion is better than yours.
My religion is much less right than yours
and i am so proud of it.
My religion doesn't know what you ought to do,
hallelujah.

My religion almost believes that our god is the
third or fourth most powerful thing in the universe.

My religion once collected a lot of money
to build a pretty good house of worship,
but we spent all the money on a party,
with funny hats for the kids
and big soft pillows for the old folk.
Now we meet in the woods or out at the ballpark.
Sometimes we meditate by the oak tree.
Sometimes we gather at second base and sing.

In my religion you can be as right as you want to be
but you can't be any righter than anybody else.
in my religion, everybody gets to eat
and if my wine is better than yours
it's my godly right to pour some in your cup.

Your religion has more truth in it.
Your religion is god's very own.
You win, you beat the weaklings.

My religion isn't right enough or smart enough
or strong enough or pure enough to hurt
you or any infidel.
My religion is better than yours.
