"Then I'll turn into hope"

That is a beautiful poem. Maybe if it was sung by somebody else who had decent recording equipment and could carry a tune, it would be a beautiful song as well.

As it is, its a bloody awful song.

Not everyone can appreciate the genius of Stephin Merritt I guess.

^Must have redefined the meaning of 'genius' when I wasn't paying attention.

^^I guess he's like Tiny Tim: Either you love him, or you don't understand him.

Jesus Christ I can't believe you people are comparing Stephin Meritt to Tiny Tim.
I guess there really is no accounting for taste.

"Oh yeah? Well, I'll just turn your ass into stone!"

"Fine, go ahead. Have fun being alone."

What's a mob to a king?
What's a king to a god?
What's a god to a non-believer?

Belief or unbelief based on willful ignorance is no defense from reality. Whoever wrote that poem is using flawed logic.

^^ It's a commonly held theory that gods (in fiction, at least) need belief to maintain themselves.

@Lancer:
You're missing the point.

The song is about a man trying to charm a woman into sleeping with him (Wi' Nae Wee Bairn Ye'll Me Beget translates into plain English as 'You'll not have a child with me'). The man keeps giving poetic reasons for the woman to give in and sleep with him; she keeps giving him flippant (but good-natured) rebuffs.

So it's not saying that not believing in God somehow robs Him of His powers, just that 'I don't care, you turn into God, I still won't sleep with you'.

This comic changes the message of the song quite a lot, by giving Discord all the nasty/aggressive lines; and the meaning of that line is changed by the nature of the two characters. Instead of a light-hearted, friendly clash of wits, we have Discord being his usual nasty self; and Celestia starts off wooing him but gradually comes to realise what a nasty bastard he is. In this case, 'well I will not believe in you...' is him gleefully rejecting Celestia's love: 'even if you were literally perfect, I'd still spit in your face'.

@nyxabuse:
There's also the fact that she actually DID become a God, true to her word.
Makes their vows a little more on point, there.
