Hello Vian

Many thanks for your comment. I think freddie would have use the word God because he was writing songs for a western audience, for whom, the word God, has a specific meaning. The Queen Back Catalogue would have sounded a lot different if there were songs like ‘In The Lap Of The Ahura Mazda Revisited’, ‘All Ahura Mazdas People’ or ‘Thank Ahura Mazda it’s Christmas’. (You could also use any of the following in place of Ahura Mazda, Ohrmazd, Ahuramazda, Hourmazd, Hormazd, Hurmuz, Aramazd or Azzandara.)

I am not sure how devout Freddie was at the time when Queen was at their most popular but I don’t think his religious choice had any impact on the use of the word ‘God’ in a song.

I understand that Freddie Mercury was a Zoroastrian by birth but I’m wondering whether he converted or not. I’m simply curious because he often mentions God in Queens songs. Now I do understand that The Zoroastrian equivalent to God is ‘Ahura Mazda’ but so why did he say the word God as opposed to his Zoroastrian title

I hope he does him justice! Freddie touched the entire world with his love-embracing energy and lyrics. 20 years after his death, I paid tribute to him on my artist’s blog with a new portrait at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/11/killer-queen-portrait-of-freddie.html This new work of art is inspired by the words of many of Queen’s songs.
