"Town to town
broadcast to each house, they drop your name
but no one knows your face
Billboards quoting things you'd never say
you hang your head and pray"
-Ben Folds
listen to this song and read the lyrics.
its right, because you can't argue with how something makes someone feel...and this song represents how a lot of people feel.

Like Wilco:
"Theologians, they don't know nothing about my soul."
Recently I read The Myth of a Christian Nation, and it spends a lot of time talking about how the American church tries to assert its ideas and beliefs by asserting power over people, whether that´s through legislation, billboards, things like that. Christ´s model, though, was power under, becoming friends, breaking social taboos and creating realtionships.
A theologian probably doesn't know much about this person's soul, but a good friend surely would.
I love this song. That's all I have to say about that.
