Atheist experience introduced me to this:

I personally can't stand this ear-worm:

"Respect for personal beliefs = "I am going to tell you all what I think of YOU, but don't dare retort and tell what you think of ME because...it's my personal belief". Hmm. A bully's charter and no mistake."

Actually like this song, but that's mostly due to the melody/sound and the various singers emotion, rather than the text.

I've just heard it so many times and with the song itself already being rather repetitive, it just get's on my nerve.

Actually, I haven't heard it for ages until tonight. I genuinely like the song, though the lyrics resonate somewhat with my own thoughts - which is probably why it's at the forefront of my mind wrt the OP.

Hah! I was just thinking of that.

The problem with fantasies is you can't really insist that everyone else believes in yours, the other problem with fantasies is that most believers of fantasies eventually get around to doing exactly that.

A message similar to that of XTC above, only a bit more aggressive...
