@jpwarren.  What I understand Lennon to be saying is that the world would be a better place without the concepts/beliefs in God, hell or heaven. While religion associated with those beliefs have surely been a source of trouble and suffering in the...

@pfeiffer It seems to me that Imagine is the antithesis of religious music since he is asking us to imagine what it is like with no god, no religion. I've always liked it as a song. I never liked the assumption that things would somehow be better ...

@slaw Good call on the Audio Slave song. Its one of my favorites by them. Lots of religious imagery but not sure what the actual message was.  Like a Stone also has a lot of religious imagery. I always thought Cornell was so so talented.@artemus_5...
