SZA accepting her Grammy for Record of the Year: “Please don’t fall into despair. I know that right now is a scary time. We can go on—we need each other. We are not governed by the government; we’re governed by God.”

I am unfortunately actually governed by the government

Strange to say when “God” is allowing immigrants and citizens to be killed and 5 year olds arrested

I would adore it if everyone shut the FUCK up about “”””god””””. Cop out, cowardly nonsense.

So God sat by and let a 5 year old get shipped across country?! Or was it part of his plan to teach this kid a lesson?! Either way, it’s not a God I’m interested in…

God can’t be all powerful, all knowing, all loving, and also the Creator of Epstein. Her heart is probably in the right place, though.

The last thing we need to hear, at a time like now, is religion. Religion has gotten us to where we are now.

No, SZA. You, I and all of us are governed by our governments.
Earthly action needs to be taken.

ENOUGH ABOUT RELIGION. PLEASE.
It is a human-made construct with no actual meaning beyond fostering flawed narratives about how the world “should” be. Human beings are already hellish enough as is. It just gives people a reason to do the awful things they do.

Wow, that’s not reassuring at all. That’s actually much, much less reassuring because God truly doesn’t give a fuck.

Suggesting that “god” is somehow better than the government is ironic. Easily the most problematic comment of the night. And, yes, we can and should be afraid. They’re murdering innocent people on the streets and locking up those telling the truth.
This messaging feels archaic and harmful.

I have no idea how anyone can believe in a god who invented evil and doesn’t stop it.

Wild thing to say when our country is being destroyed by people who refuse to separate church and state.

Wouldn’t it mean that god is governing the people who are playing out all these atrocities?
I swear religious people who say this sort of shit are so shit scared of reality that they can’t fathom the fact that life is indeed a shitshow and people can be inherently evil beyond belief.

Idk how y’all expect to come together with Black people and immigrants to fight against the bullshit going on right now if you can’t even handle a passing mention of religion 💀
I’m an atheist, btw, but y’all would tell MLK to shut up about God

Ok then God is doing a pretty shit job governing

The other side thinks they’re “governed by God” too, that’s why they’re doing all this. How about God just stays the fuck away from any and all governments.

If we are governed by God then I would like the centuries of tithing paid into the church to be returned to the people.
