The song does mention "God", which usually implies a monotheistic god, and seeing that Lady Gaga was raised Catholic, I can only guess she is referring to the Christian God. |

Well, the song has an overt message about social diversity, which is to love yourself regardless of minute differences between you and other people, regardless of the color of your skin, the nationality of who you are, or your sexual orientation.  The only part that stands out and not be Christian would be this part: "He made you perfect, babe." If "He" refers to God, then that would be inaccurate, since all humans, according to Christian theology, are imperfect. Only God is perfect.  I can see how the song would be appealing to someone who is of a racial or sexual minority and who is being constantly discriminated by the society around them for their immutable traits. |

This song was played at the 2012 Presbyterian General Assembly, which was largely controlled by pro-gay Presbyterians. |

So since I have no experience with loving who I am or happy being "being born this way" it should give me a positive outlook you would think. But it doesnt. |

Though I wouldn't say it was a Christian God, think she was just using God to say we were born this way and are loved the way we are. Whether you agree with homosexuality or not. |

"Born this way" represents the current cultural religion of "self".

Actually the lyrics are Christian. They pertain to Gays being created as God intended in his creation of them. |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | | | |
