himself. He is calling himself a hypocrite for pointing out flaws in dogma and religion, because he is no better and no less of a sinner.
But he might be referring to himself from the perspective of a supreme being.
Trying to imagine how Jesus or Buddha would critique his choices, decisions, and sin.

Was posted last month sometime ... I agree with the idea that the song is from the standpoint of his mom calling him a hypocrite. As if she was in heaven and knows it exists, and is telling her son he was wrong. Completes the story, basically.

Yes, but ideas like "the song is from the standpoint of his mom calling him a hypocrite."
are way off. I believe record devides into two parts. Part after "10,000 days" is less serious.

second half of the record is not "less serious". right in two? so the record doesn't "split". but i'd agree that rosetta stoned isn't too serious....

actually, i'm pretty sure it's about L.

Eulogy is a very bitter song obviously aimed at someone maynard doesn't have too much respect for. there's also that verse in Ænema: "Fuck L. Ron Hubbard, and fuck all his clones..."
I also believe that's the reason for the religious references throughout the song.

it just sounds like hes going through the anger stage of getting over a death. in the first half of eulogy, bill hicks is the one that pops to mind, then i imagine maynard screaming at his grave. i dont know much about L. Ron, but i guess you all could be right. i still think its about hicks though.
hicks wasnt afraid to die. "its just a ride" and he got off, thats all.
when it says "Get off your fucking cross" i imagine hicks doing his rutine about advertisements. "its jesus for miller" he holds up his arms as if he were on a cross. "it dont get much better than this jesus."
you all could definatly be right, but i doubt it. the album is about bill hicks and philosphy. There was shit about L. Ron in AEnima, but even that one was Hicks' dream.

I'm more of an agnostic. I take a lot of principles and beliefs from LaVey Satanism and some from Paganism and Buddhism. What 'lead' me to Satanism was curiosity, I went on the official website, read LaVeys writings, the Satanic Sins, The Rules Of The Earth etc. and I just agreed with them, simple as that.

One of the more absurd things Ive read on here. The only reason you think it has anything to do with Bill Hicks is because the band mentioned it once. Yet, you probably have no idea in what aspect the song is really about him, so unless you explain yourself, you are the one who is full of it.

My interpretation of the lyrics is based more on intuition. I took a look at the satanic website. To choose to follow something like that, is simply beyond (or below) me. I'd say more, but it leaves an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach.
There is always light and love to find, but only you can deny it.

I find light and love just as much as anyone else. I just don't pretend there's light and love where there isn't. You clearly didn't look at the site very well, if you went to look at the Satanic Rules Of The Earth, or The Satanic Sins, you would see that it is in fact the church of common sense, for the most part. LaVey Satanists don't even worship Satan, or any other figure, Satan is used as a symbol for anti-Christianity, in a way.
Oh yes, and you seem to be hinting that Satanists are 'below' you? Lets think for a second, are there any other people in history who thought people of a certain religion were below them?
Have to think about that one, huh?

wow, no. we are the hypocrites. he's singing to us directly, as he did before "'cause you're a dumb ass, belligerent fucker". yeah, i think he feels that nothing else has gotten to us, so now he's going to be blunt, rude, and 100% condescending. it even sounds like the child-like rant or rhyme that scarred us oh so long ago. he's bashing us. 100%.
next topic.

There is always light and love to find, but only you can deny it.

intuition? sounds like opposites to me.

Oh yes, and you seem to be hinting that Satanists are 'below' you? Lets think for a second, are there any other people in history who thought people of a certain religion were below them?
Have to think about that one, huh?

If you find light and love, but you choose to deny what some would say is the source of that very light and love, where might I ask do you find it? For all things have a beginning, and all beginnings have an inception, which in turn have a source.
No I didn't look at the site very well. It made me feel like I had an anchor tied to me, and I was in ocean of malevolence; hence, I left. Common sense doesn't exist; it is habit and survival which teach us not to put our hand on a burning stove, or walk in the street during rush hour. If common sense existed; I'd say, "it is common sense not to worship, or align yourself to evil."
Why do you say it is anti-christian? You do realize that 90% of religions have a malevolent personification. I assure you, I'm not insulting your intelligence, just questioning what pain or suffering have lead you to an intentional bleak present.
Sure, I've seen the hypocrisy of the religion Christianity. People are flawed, imperfect, and beautiful which are all components of things we create, Christianity included. However, most of us do not worship the idol that is Christianity, we worship Yahweh, and follow Jesus. Is it possible Jesus might be a deranged man? sure.

satanists might be below me or above me. if being as such, were to say, make me pious, I wouldn't do it. to me the greatest sin is sinning with knowledge and intent to better oneself, and gloating over the process.

I will reply to this when you sort out your grammar so I can understand what you're actually trying to say.

I do apologize. I will try not to be vague or indirect this time.
Yahweh is Hebrew for love, also the original name of God, unless you recall Ahura Mazda. Now if God truly is love, which I feel personally is the best empirical description available, how can you feel love if you go against Yahweh?
That'd be like saying you are apathetic to life, but very caring as well. So if you are partially loving and capable of loving, why shut the rest of your being off to the entirety of that perfection?
You know I can understand being anti-christian, just as long as you oppose the flawed religous part, for Christ was as perfect a human as can be, as far as we know. The belief part of it states he is the Son of God, or the Son of Man. I definitely dabbled in self-worship and of a more selfish and evil way. It was just empty, and the journey back to love and light forced me to confront demons, and in some ways actually fight them. I was never alone on the journey back. I slowly became one and "breathed in union" with that Holy Benevolence. THe demons came in the form of repression, self-deprecation, apathy, vanity, dissatisfaction, and failure. They also resulted from choosing to leave God, and his solace and unconditionality.
Everyone has a different path, this is just mine. Hopefully you will find your way back to the source. The chills explain truth behind spirituality and unconditional love. To me that love takes an ethereal and personfied form, but not to everyone, like buddhists. Which is fine, because all paths of righteousness converge at the same cornerstone.

if the originating post is right..it would fit into the idea that this song has alot to do with his mom. You know...her religion was a strong base in his life...and he is second guessing his views on it.
