"I've looked into it, and I just don't see how the lyrics are political"

Really? You really don't see it at all?

Watch on YouTube

(The comment is a few years old and gave a few more details in the thread that read to me like they were a teen or young adult when they wrote it, so to protect their identity I'm linking to a different lyrics video of the same song. But seriously, there's a level of stupidity that can't be entirely excused by youth.)

Some people are oblivious. My mother, after hearing that the Catholic Church objected to His Dark Materials, sat through the entire movie of The Golden Compass (2007) in the theater with me, and walked out saying, "See? There's no reason to censor it. I didn't hear a word about religion, did you?"

Wow. So she completely missed that world's version of the Catholic Church being involved in mutilating children and experimenting on them? I wonder if she would have missed the parts in later books about 'God' being a liar, that he didn't create the universe because it was already there when he was born, and heaven being a concentration camp.

My impression was that, to her, because it didn't use the words "Catholic Church", nothing in this movie had anything to do with the Catholic Church. Just some fantasy world, with no relation to our own, obviously!

I was facepalming so hard.
