Introduction Stefani Germanotta’s song born this way by first glance of the lyrics seems to try to excuse an immoral lifestyle. In the second verse she states that her Momma said that we are all born superstars, but if you look at Psalms 58:5 David writes, ‘The wicked are estranged from the womb; These who speak lies go astray from birth.

Lady Gaga is right about being born this way, Romans 3:23 states “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Lady Gaga made a few good points in her song but the message is that you should live life the way you want to and be proud of your sinful desires.…
