Because all the cool kids are doing it in The Guardian, Lady Gaga made some controversial statements regarding religion in a recent interview with the UK paper where she’s made the inevitable leap from eccentric drug addict to thinking she’s Jesus:
On her tour being a religious experience:
“Yes, it is. It is a religious experience. But it’s like a pop cultural church. I never intended for the Monster Ball to be a religious experience, it just became one. … It’s more self-worship, I think, not of me. I’m teaching people to worship themselves.”
On what’s wrong with conventional religion:
“The influence of institutionalised religion on government is vast. So religion then begins to affect social values and that in turn affects self-esteem, bullying in school, teen suicides, all those things.”
On her mission:
“I want to make a difference. I never wanted to look pretty on stage and sing about something we’ve all heard about before. I’d much rather write a song called Judas and talk about betrayal and forgiveness and feeling misunderstood, and talk to the fans and figure out what it is society needs. If I can be a leader, I will.”
On how she doesn’t hate religion, she’s just better than it:
“Don’t say I hate institutionalised religion – rather than saying I hate those things, which I do not, what I’m saying is that perhaps there is a way of opening more doors, rather than closing so many.”
And, of course, how’s she a martyr:
“What I have learned the most from my fans, and what you will hear most on Born This Way, is that it is part of my destiny to take the bullets, but my heart keeps on beating. You cannot destroy me. Because I am an art piece.”
Wow. I don’t know how you interpret that last statement as anything but a open invitation to fire an assault rifle into her pancreas. I’ll alert the gun nuts: Hey, this chick’s saying Jesus ain’t shit over here! And something about homosexuals! *ducks*

“I hate institutionalized religion, it just suckers people in to get money out of them. I don’t care about that really though, all I care about is continuing my Cult of Madonna Tour for the next few years.”
GODDAMN DYSLEXIA strikes again, ‘I do not hate’ is what I meant.
Yeah, sorry to point it out since it is your burden, but it’s LYSDEXIA
Nope, I’m not full on retarded where I switch letters around, I just skip words and reverse them in sentences.
Basically it’s like I’m trying to do the closed captioning for Paula Abdul on American Idol.
ludichrisspeed…maybe you need to get your hearing checked. I am not making a joke, I do the same thing, and it’s traced back to a hearing deficit. I know that sounds strange, but it’s true. I spell switch ‘are’ and ‘our’ around all the time because I find that sound hard to hear.
I guess Lady Gaga has never heard another song by anyone else ever on the face of the earth if she is spewing bullshit about how NO ONE writes music about betrayal, etc. I’m pretty sure there’s a song for anything, and theming your dumb music around religion because you literally can’t stop shitting out word poo from your mouth, doesn’t make you anything short of Britney Spears, or Fatstina Auguilaria. Her songs don’t have any message whatsoever. I’m so sick of this robot cunt who now wears Jim Carrey’s prosthetic throwaways from ‘The Mask’s cheekbones acting like she’s different than the 90 different types of pop artists giving me cancer right now.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
That was awesome.
You saved me a lot of writing.
This chick needs a coffee table-sized chunk of humble pie.
Saw her recently, her show was hot ta def
Self-Worship? Oh for fuck’s sake, just say “masturbation” already.
Nietsche. Marx. Gaga. It all makes sense now.
I’m ready for this bitch to move her ugly ass to London and pretend she’s from there.
If only someone would just remove this blight, all mankind would be saved from this hideous asshat!
self worship: basic tenet of LeVeyian Satanism(the branch that was founded by Antoine LeVey)
what’s wrong with conventional religion: ditto
her mission: 1. to spread the tenets of LeVeyian Satanism
2. to see how many guys will masturbate over her
the other stuff :ditto.
all she needs to do is date Rose McGowan and we can call her the second Manson.
That just made no sense and contained entirely too many dittos.
It made perfect sense … Lightdragon is a total nut, is what it is basically saying.
Girl, you’re fye-hye-ee-yie-heen!! So Fii-ee-ine!!
What really cracks my ass up is the fact that worshiping Lady Gaga would make just as much sense as the beliefs of “established” religions. Old or new, it’s all bullshit.
You’d think that her wicked overbite would have been fixed by now.
“If I can be a leader, I will.” Says it all really, you’re either a leader or you’re not. If you have to say that then you’re not. And I thought she was dressing up as the caped crusader there for a moment.
She’s either Satan or an evil Alien being focused on world domination.
“Don’t say I hate institutionalized religion”…ok fine, but let’s be clear, institutionalized religion hates YOU.
Actually, the Vatican’s official response to her “Judas” video was, and I quote, “uh…whatever”.
Pope Benedict: “We’ll let you know what we think as soon as we figure out exactly what the video is about… er, excuse me. Are these my fresh young boys? Send that one back, he’s too fat. What? The microphone is still on? Oh goddamn it all to FUCKING hell!”
fuck, shes ugly.
Anything that pisses off those bible-thumpers is OK in my book.
PS My book is NOT the bible.
You’re so original…
you can’t claim to be the messiah while rocking a Snooki poof
anyone is better than religion.
Every chance the superficial writer gets he ridicules the Bible, it’s hard to believe he wouldn’t love lady gaga’s remarks.
Fish has issues with the Bible and Gaga has issues with the Bible, therefore Fish should love Gaga. Yeah…that makes a lot of sense.
Do you like Communism? No? Well, neither did Hitler. It’s hard to believe, then, that you wouldn’t love Hitler. See what I did there?
He saw you invoke Godwin’s law. =)
She tries way too hard.. No one’s buying it.
Laughable. Lap it up hogs.
Here at the Church Of Fish™ – shit like this gets the deluxe peanut gallery onslaught. Keeps us all sane.
:)
…What fresh hell organized bulls#it is this psycho ward escapee jabbering about???……Artofwar
she sounds lucid and visionary
sorry for not being a typical superficial reader who sits at home and negatively judges people with successful careers while i cry into the big mac my fat mother brought home for me
Yeah, and Charlie Sheen is #winning!
If that crap she spewed in the interview is lucid and visionary, then the world needs more delusional and repetitive…Oh wait….that is what that was…BTW: Thank goodness you aren’t the typical Superficial reader, Fish would have to kill himself, if you were!
…I say that if this b#tch wants to so desperately parallel herself to Jesus, she should go out like him as well. So quickly, somebody go get the wood, and I’ll go get the nails and hammer…..Artofwar
Okay, I’ve got the wood…where are we meeting? Do I bring beer?
You have to be a Jew to kill her.
Well, she wouldn’t have been here without Madonna, if that’s what she means.
i understand that she bedazzled her rectum. very unique indeed!
I’m not a Gaga fan, and I think her new album cover is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen, but I kinda have to agree with a lot of points she makes here. I feel the same way about organized religion– it’s not a bad thing, but it does close a lot of doors when it doesn’t have to. And I think what she means by not singing a typical song is not singing a song about “all the boys want to have sex with me at the club because I’m so hot” or “I’m in love with that boy because he’s so cute what do I do?”. I think audiences are finally FINALLY tired of that kind of pop music, which is why artists like Katy Perry and Gaga have been doing well. Katy Perry singing about experimenting with a girl or about how her boyfriend is so metrosexual it creeps her out, Or Rihanna doing a song about S&M, or with Gaga about her love affair with paparazzi and… uh… Jesus’s biker gang… that’s all fairly new for pop music backed by big labels.
Of course, I noticed Katy Perry’s second album kind of reverted back to a more typical pop theme compared to her first album, and Lady Gaga is still using “unique” visuals more than unique songwriting to get attention but…. actually, forget me. The latest album I just bought was Sixx: A.M. and an old Heart album, so I’m not exactly the pop industry’s target audience.
tl;dr
Disagree. Gaga is her own self- appointed ‘God’ and preaches people to ‘worship themselves’. Then refers to it as a ‘religious experience’. Now instead of bible thumpers, we have fat, stupid 13 yr olds with a God complex thinking they’re the 2nd coming of Christ.
It’s hilarious she said she ‘never wanted to be pretty on stage’ as if she had a choice. She has to act crazy bc that’s the only way ppl would pay attention to her. Do you honestly think if she were truly pretty, she would be doing the same schtick?
So religion then begins to affect social values and that in turn affects self-esteem, bullying in school, teen suicides, all those things.
– she blames teen suicide and bullying on religion pretty much IN HER RETARD BRAIN
I want to make a difference. I never wanted to look pretty on stage and sing about something we’ve all heard about before.
– why would she worry about something that is impossible for someone as ugly as her
she has no PARENTAL ADVISORY EXPLICIT CONTENT label on her ALBUM.. she says SHIT and she says FUCK HER FACE in her pokerface song.. if you don’t hear that, you are a failed human with ears
she is using all those busyway of dressing-crap because she concidders her person as UGLY.
…………………….AND SHE IS RIGHT, folks!!
yeah.. shes 150% of the devil! SMH!
I’m confused why this is here. She’s still around? Thought her 15 minutes expired months ago.
“I never wanted to look pretty on stage ”
It’s a good thing you didn’t want to look pretty. Could never pull it off.
So she went hell bent for leather in the opposite direction…and succeeded mightily.
Just putting this out there, but… I’m a gay man and I hate the bitch.
Her comments just prove she has no brain. Wants to be edgy, but doesn’t want to come off as anti-religion. Wants to be considered a fashion icon, but doesn’t want you thinking she’s pretty.
As Pope Benedict supposedly said when asked about Lady Gaga….”whatever….”
The Beatles are bigger than Christ / Lady GaGa is bigger than Madonna. For now. Nuff said.
tbh i think she looks sexy as fuck in that outfit, wish ONE of these fuckin shots was from behind :( id give to her guuud
how can you not notice that face? it’s gross.
This idiot can go away now. She has no redeeming value what so ever. Copycat trying to say she is original. What a joke.
“I want to make a difference. I never wanted to look pretty on stage and sing about something we’ve all heard about before.” I think I’ve heard Like a prayer before, thank you.
It’s funny how she tries to be this sort of revolutionary and tortured artist, but it just doesn’t translate to her music. Judas is a mediocre pop song, and she has to hide behing all that weirdness and costumes to sell herself as an artist because her music just isn’t good enough.
The ONLY WAY this talentless c*nt hasn’t had her 15 mins run out by now is because she’s sold her soul to the Illuminati. There’s no other explanation.
GaGa says these things because cunt.
FUCK LADY GAGA SATANIC WHORE SHE HAS NO SOUL
LOST FOREVER
KILLUMINATI
SHE JUST WANTS TO TURN PEOPLE AWAY FROM GOD
