A look at the religious world from a young man trapped in a parochial school in the 40's, and the wild stories he was expected to believe, without question, under threat of eternal damnation if he didn't.

Story behind the song
Remembering back on my days at Sacred Heart School in Emporia, Kansas, I recalled the total confusion created when what is was being taught as ultimate truth did not jibe with the world as I experienced it. I recently asked a friend who went to the same school, and who was a regular church-goer, if he still believed all those stories. He thought a minute, then said, "What if it is true? I don't want to take any chances..." And I understood how he felt.
