Lady Gaga’s brand new single released to radio today. “Born This Way” mentions God (or his pronoun) several times…<\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
\nJust put your paws up
\n‘Cause you were Born This Way, baby<\/p>\n

My mama told me when I was young
\nWe are all born superstars<\/p>\n

She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
\nIn the glass of her boudoir<\/p>\n

“There’s nothin’ wrong with lovin’ who you are”
\nShe said, “‘Cause he made you perfect, babe”
\n“So hold your head up, girl and you you’ll go far,
\nlisten to me when I say”<\/p>\n

I’m beautiful in my way,
\n‘Cause God makes no mistakes
\nI’m on the right track, baby
\nI was Born This Way<\/p>\n

Don’t hide yourself in regret,
\nJust love yourself and you’re set
\nI’m on the right track, baby
\nI was Born This Way<\/p>\n

Ooo, there ain’t no other way
\nBaby, I was Born This Way
\nBaby, I was Born This Way
\nOoo, there ain’t other way
\nBaby, I was Born-
\nI’m on the right track, baby
\nI was Born This Way<\/p>\n

Don’t be a drag, just be a queen
\nDon’t be a drag, just be a queen
\nDon’t be a drag, just be a queen
\nDon’t be!<\/p>\n

Give yourself prudence
\nAnd love your friends
\nSubway kid, rejoice your truth<\/p>\n

In the religion of the insecure
\nI must be myself, respect my mouth<\/p>\n

A different lover is not a sin
\nBelieve capital H-I-M (Hey, Hey, Hey)
\nI love my life, I love this record and
\nMi amore vole fe yah (Love needs faith)<\/p>\n

I’m beautiful in my way,
\n‘Cause God makes no mistakes
\nI’m on the right track, baby
\nI was Born This Way<\/p>\n

Don’t hide yourself in regret,
\nJust love yourself and you’re set.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m not sure, but I think Lady Gaga might be a Calvinist, a Presbyterian perhaps… she’s definitely not “PCA,” but she could be PCUSA…<\/p>\n

Or maybe she’s Buddhist.<\/p>\n

Either way, she’s definitely channeling some early-90s Madonna in this new song. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
