- I'll have to go back and listen to the CD again, but my guess from reading
- your question is that it is a metaphor against the Catholic church, or
- any organized religion, being kind of a "moral dictator"in peoples lives,
- and possibly the guilt from going against that "moral code" leading to the
- suicide. This is just a guess at what they were driving at, as I said,
- I really
- need to go back and listen to get the context this was presented in.
