Worshiping someone with "red right hand"?

[@AbsentWithoutLeaving]

Carlos Ortiz Seems to be a reference to the vengeful hand of God, from Milton's "Paradise Lost": "What if the breath that kindled those grim fires [referring to the fires of Hades], awaked, should blow them into sevenfold rage, and plunge us in the flames; or from above should intermitted vengeance arm again his RED RIGHT HAND to plague us?" It's a pretty iconic phrase that Rockers and writers have referenced in the past, Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand," (1994) for instance.

Nice. I remember the first time I questioned belief in and of itself. This song really made me pause and it took me back to that moment. Sometimes I wish I could blindly follow again
