I'm going to take this perhaps a little too seriously as I'm a fairly highly strung person. This video is a somewhat humorous projection of deism. It's the belief that god is a 'clock maker', that creation unwinds absent of his interference. Like so many rap songs, it's a misanthropic critique of humanity. I understand that it illustrates some of the malignant twisting of religion, though it could have been a whole lot more potent if the author dropped the guise of God and simply attacked religion as himself. The problem is he ends up defending god. God is saying that us humans are evil and unruly and God is not to blame as he let's us 'be our own boss'. God proclaims 'Where did I go wrong'?... It's still 100% God's fault and there's no excuses, so the whole song really ends there. God created pain and suffering. 'Where did you go right, God?', would be a better a question. Overall, I believe that yes we are doing horrible things to ourselves and the planet, and religion is awful and so is war and capitalism in it's current iteration...but...why would you try and get God off the hook? If God was to be real, he'd be the entirely responsible. But we are responsible because God doesn't appear to be real.
