Jimmy Carter helped put “born again” Christianity on the map in America. He made a big deal about his having accepted Jesus as his Savior and Lord. Many conservatives were disappointed with his governance, but no one could deny his consistent profession of faith.
When the 100-year-old former president’s funeral service was held in the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., it was odd that there was a mixture of beautiful Christian sacred music, along with Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood singing John Lennon’s atheistic ballad, “Imagine.”

20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?
23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
Matthew 7:20-23
Actually Lennon and Ono both thought they could get that idea a reality on earth. That’s how stupid the two of them are. Stupid idealists.
John was murdered in front of his own home because he really believed he could just walk around in NYC in the dangerous 70s because it was all ‘peace and love’.
As Steely Dan’s song to Lennnon once said, ‘Only a fool would say that’.

John got six bullets, Yoko was standing right next to him, and not one bullet! Explain THAT to me!
Singing “Imagine” at the Carter funeral was a deliberate insult to all Christians—from Jimmy Carter to all the rest of us!
Jihadis are faithful. So bloody waht?
People have to stop giving everyone/anyone a pass just because they do a single thing you like, especially in religion. A pedo can be caught petting a puppy. ‘Ell, Hitler was.
This means nothing and trying to say that means he is OK is equivalent to supporting his absolutely evil policies.
Well, here is my parody though it still needs some work:
Imagine there’s no heaven. It’s easy till you die;
No hell below us, Above us, only sky;
Imagine all the people, Livin’ for that lie, a-haa.
Imagine there’s no countries, so there’s more drugs to do.
Nothing to live or die for, And no religion, too.
Imagine all the people, Livin’ for my lie, a-haa.
You may say I’m a dreamer, But I’m not the only one,
I hope someday y'all join us, So might devil have won!
Imagine no possessions, I’ll wonder if you can.
But buy my music, Oh brotherhood of man!
Imagine all the people Paying for my $ongs.
You may say I’m a dreamer, But I’m not the only one.
I hope someday y'all join us, Cause' in Hell you cannot run!
Excellent!
AXIOS!
