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

You definitely have talent for lyric writing.

But there are bad people and good people all over the world. And, we all have bad and good inside of us, but what do we chose to do with our free will? I think the hatred will divide us, it's better to live the path of love and pray for love and kindness in all our hearts. I think your lyrics are a bit too judgmental, using lines like:"Amer-i-ca. You reap what you sow.Amer-i-ca. There’s a God, don’t you know? "Isn't this to judge all the inhabitants in America? I don't understand your lyrics at all. I do believe in the father, son and the holy spirit, but not in this way you do. The bible clearly states that you shall not judge. No one is perfect in this world, we all have our flaws. I think it's better to work on the parts inside yourself that ain't so good. I do it myself, and I know I'm not perfect, but I do my best to be kind and loving! Be a helping hand! Orest. I agree with you though that may surprise you. It's not that all Americans are evil. I've just pointed out that Jerusalem is a city under a biblical covenant, one that God has little choice but to defend...unless He's a liar and the whole bible is wrong. If there is a God, anyone trying to chop up Jerusalem or Israel for that matter, is going to suffer the consequences. Seeing that America voted for the Obama administration which has a policy to chop up Israel and Jerusalem, it stands to reason, biblically, if not mentally, that there will be some consequence for that. I'm not saying that I am absolutely right either. I' m saying, Let's watch and see and we can all maybe find out if there is a God and if the bible is true. I think it's a worthy experiment. I don't wish any harm to America or Americans. I don't wish disasters upon them either. But actions have consequences. One other thing. I think any disaster that takes place should happen right away in relation to any move made by the US government to chop up the holy land. I think it's got to be within a month to count. Otherwise, it can't be tied together in an action/reaction pattern. Hey. I may not even be a believer anymore when this is over. But, I'm betting I will be. Either God tells the truth and He's real or He's not.

As you read this thread, you can see why it's such a bad idea to discuss politics or religion on this type of forum. It would be great if everyone would just let the whole thing drop... Just my opinion, nothing more, nothing less.Casey

I agree. While I do enjoy a battle of wits (with an armed opponent) I do understand and agree that messing with the Lords prayer is pretty offensive. Besides, I gotta get back to stocking my survival shelter.
