    A John Lennon masterpiece, but is it about atheism?

    Wasn't there an edited version of this to change a certain section to include 'god' in America?

    Re: Imagine
    Here are the lyrics. I wouldn't say it's 100% to do with atheism, but atheism is obviously part of the idea. See first verse. No religion, no countries, no possessions, sort of seems that getting rid of all the things that the human race fights over would make it a better world.


    Imagine there's no Heaven
    It's easy if you try
    No hell below us
    Above us only sky
    Imagine all the people
    Living for today

    Imagine there's no countries
    It isn't hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And no religion too
    Imagine all the people
    Living life in peace

    You may say that I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world will be as one

    Imagine no possessions
    I wonder if you can
    No need for greed or hunger
    A brotherhood of man
    Imagine all the people
    Sharing all the world

    You may say that I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world will live as one

    That's correct - "...and one religion too".

    What a horrible bunch of theocratic (insert own expletive here)s they are

    People, in general, live by the rules of their religion and fight under the banner of their religion. Without religion there would be peace. Is that what he's saying?

    and what, pray tell, is wrong with communism?

    Scarily, the more you read about it, the more right it becomes.

    Community-ism. The ability for a community to work to a common good.

    Shame that it's linked so heavily to Russian history in the English language really.

    Communism needs a new name. HEXUS-ISM there...sorted

    /back on topic

    Santa, I'm glad you turned out to be a normal person and not a troll. Very good post...again

    Nothing is wrong with being a communism... but everything is wrong with being a nutter...

    Remember Communism will never work for economic reasons anyway...

    If you are talking about the ideology, then there are people who'll share your opinion. But how many people still think it *works* - the more they read/think about it?
