Judith is Maynard's mother's name (first or middle, I don't remember, and from what I understand, she was a Christian --- so both "Judith" and "Wings/10,000 Days" are songs to her) and the insult in anything Maynard writes/sings isn't against religion/spirituality/God, it's against the "middlemen" of religion who peddle false wares and sell false security to the mindless and the broken.
As far as "4 Degrees"goes, can sodomy be metaphorical for a "god" asking Maynard for acceptance and trust --- doesn't that fit with "Opiate" and the RAPE metaphor?
