That song by John Lennon is singing about peace. It also says we'd be better off without nations and possessions. The causes of conflict.
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 isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
imane all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
Christianity is a relationship that removes us from religion, from loving posessions and from seeing borders and divides where there are none. Christianity is about loving your enemy, turning the other cheek, blessing those that persecute you.
In many ways 'Imagine' is a song of Christian ideals. So don't go confusing mercury with water simply because they're both liquids. One will kill you, the other will sustain your existence.
