"Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness, and cleanliness is godliness, and God is empty, just like me."

The lyrics to the Smashing Pumpkins song "Zero".

What do you think about that "God is empty" line? Is it a bad line?

Its a silly gism.

As opposed to a syllogism (real logic).

Its like this silly gism:

God is love

love is blind

Stevie Wonder is blind

ergo

Stevie Wonder is God.
