Tokyo Olympics Open In Japan With Celebrities Singing The Atheist National Anthem ‘imagine’ Inviting People To Live In A World Without God

This is the dream of all God-rejecting Liberals everywhere, to live in a world unencumbered by the perfect, righteous and holy God who will hold them accountable, and instead invite you to ‘imagine’ a a place where there is no hope of Heaven. That place is called Hell in the Bible, and you better pray that the imagination portrayed in that song does not come true for you. So after 17 months of a global pandemic, the whole world is coming together to imagine living without God.

In your King James Bible, the word ‘imagination’ appears 14 times, and in every one of those times it points to the wickedness and evil of the unregenerate human heart. I wonder if John Lennon knew that when he wrote the anti-God atheist national anthem ‘Imagine’? Fun fact, your Not Inspired Version NIV bible removes all 14 instances of the word ‘imagination’, providing only 2 spots with the word ‘imagination’, not matching the King James, and floundering in watered-down meaninglessness.

“Imagine there’s no heaven It’s easy if you try No hell below us Above us, only sky Imagine all the people Livin’ for today I hope someday you’ll join us And the world will live as one”

John Legend, Keith Urban Lead Singing of ‘Imagine’ at Olympics Opening Ceremony

FROM BREITBART NEWS: The Opening Ceremony kicked off on Friday with several artists participating in a rendition of “Imagine” — which asks listeners to, ironically, imagine there are “no countries.” The Suginami Junior Chorus and Spanish musician Alejandro Sanz were also featured in the number.

Legend, an overtly leftist Hollywood activist, belted out the lyrics, “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. The multi-millionaire “All of Me” singer, who considered fleeing the U.S. because of former President Trump, is no stranger to the hypocrisy.

Last year, he teamed up with failed Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams for a “Rock the Runoff” get-out-the-vote concert, which featured tickets costing up to $25,000. The climate change hardliner, along with his wife Chrissy Teigen, also took a private jet to perform for Joe Biden’s inaugural event in January. That was not the first time the millionaires took such action.

In February 2020, Legend and Teigen flew 500 miles just for a Valentine’s Day date — an action that would be impossible if Legend lived up to the utopian lyrics he performed in his Olympic rendition of “Imagine.”

Lennon made his wealth thanks to his pact with Satan. His songs were payback to his master.

A friend of mine calls NIV the “Nearly Inspired Version.”

I call it the redacted version.

You’re no one unless you have your own National Anthem or they want National Anthems to be meaningless

Yes, that horrible song, which is basically the communist manifesto set to music, ruined the beautiful drone display they had going.

Imagine a world ruled by Godless men and women. China and North Korea for instance.

Its the world

“The World”

The world hates God and those that are His

The World is becoming more open and violent in its hatred

In places where it normally has been reluctant to do so

The historically Christian events and places and nations

Well...yeah....imagine it...cause it will never happen....so keep pretending it will happen if it gets one through the meaningless life...imagine there is no God...while surely dying...imagine there are no possessions while others control or steal your clothes, food, and shelter.
What an absurd song.

To be truthful, most people live as if there is no God.
