Very interesting concept. I do not like that there are many spiritual-like books, and some people say that they contradict each other or whatever. They all seem similar, yet different. In some ways you are dead-on, and I never argue with people, I ask questions. That way, it validates their beliefs, and removes me from the responsibility of having to adopt them, while avoiding a stupid argument.
The only thing is is that I cannot deny that there is a spiritual world, and that it exists. I have experienced this, in a very real sense. So no matter how much I like to be void of belief, I cannot deny what I have experienced. I also cannot deny that I have experienced the direct, divine revelation of a higher being, which saved my life. I am no longer addicted to pornography, I have recovered from being dragged into a psychotic state, and have renounced the use of demonic armour and abilities like telekinesis and telepathy, which I saw with my own eyes work. I have experienced invisible forces affect me, and felt the power of demonic wands. The armour I had also could tell me where things were located, and was right, and could tell me what was in a backpack before I looked into it, and was right. I also know many people who have recovered from addictions, myself included. So these facts completely nullify your argument. You have made an argument and stated that you have no argument. What you are really advertising and suggesting is that humans are weak, and that there is no God, and that there is no devil, no spirits. I can only buy that if all those experiences were created by my own mind to create a delusion within myself to thus create a belief, and quite frankly I don't think the mind is capable of tricking itself that much to distort reality by tricking its own senses. We need something to believe in because we have a spirit that lives on beyond our body. I have had experiences with ghosts, or something like that. If nothing happens after we die, than we truly must be misusing our minds that have the intelligence to create such theories.
That should send your head for a bit of a spin.

Here are the lyrics:
Lose the costume
The day's of dress-up are gone
Time to join in and put a different outfit on
Maybe that's harsh well let's find a happy medium
Be responsible and you can wear it in the evening
This dude took pride in his cause everyday
Put on his costume which defined who he was
He said he didn't care he liked being unique
Accused the rest of the world of being a bunch of sheep
Lived his life going against the grain
Spent all of his time with those who felt the same
Hit his mid-twenties and still nothing's changed
Except his boys who chose to grow with age
Now he's looking for friends with the same behavior
He hangs out on campus with a bunch of teenagers
He's punk rock he's hip-hop he's everything the system's not
And he likes it that way he likes being on the defense
He likes having something to fight against
He likes calling himself a revolutionist
I'm sorry but you have an identity crisis
(chorus)
Lose the costume
The day's of dress-up are gone
Time to join in and put a different outfit on
Maybe that's harsh well let's find a happy medium
Be responsible and you can wear it in the evening
And on the weekends when it's appropriate
You can make believe for a minute
Stir up some controversy and have fun
But hang-up your angst when play time is done
Ignore the truth and neglect your responsibility
Because you can't decipher the real world from your hobbies
This whole starving artist shtick you've been running with is wearing thin
Put it to an end and grow old gracefully
Time for you to start cooperating cuz rent ain't free
And neither is your family's needs
What you want and should expect are two different things
You think the rest of the world likes their suits and ties working nine to five just to get by?
Maybe, I mean if they've figured out what it truly means to make this life count
But that don't sit well with you're anti-authority
Me against the world sub-genre category that you've placed yourself in
Do you honestly think the average man celebrates the system
But they cooperate
