Trisha Yearwood, Garth Brooks Mocked for Singing ‘Atheist Anthem’ ‘Imagine’ at Devotedly Christian Roselyn Carter’s Funeral
Breitbart ^ | 11/29/2023 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

Posted on 11/29/2023 12:49:53 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Superstar country music couple Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks performed an odd song to sing at former first lady Rosalynn Carter’s funeral on Tuesday with John Lennon’s anti-religious, left-wing themed song “Imagine,” even though Carter was a devout Southern Baptist Christian.

The singers, dressed all in black, performed an acoustic rendition of the vapid Lennon song which contains the lyrics “Imagine there’s no Heaven,” “No hell below us Above us, only sky,” and “Imagine… no religion, too.”

The pair delivered a nice recitation of the popular, left-wing dream tune, certainly. But to sing that there is no heaven and no religion at the funeral of a woman who has always been portrayed as a devout Christian is certainly a strange choice.

As soon as I heard “Imagine” being sung at R. Carter’s funeral I thought: “damn liberals are so predictable.”

Not a funeral - this is a DNC fundraiser, ergo the DNc picked the music.

They were members of the Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains Georgia.

This Methodist Church is in Atlanta.

Who knows why that particular church was chosen if it’s not one of their own denomination.

But as far as I know, the Carters were never Methodist, so maybe there’s some other connection to this Methodist Church and that’s why it was held there

It does seem odd to sing an atheist song at the funeral of a person of faith. But apparently she and or her family thought it was appropriate.

A freaking bar owner in Nashville now, and his fat rich paid for wife. All in in support of Dylan Mulvaney the TRANNY Light Beer pimp in the Busch beer promotion.

Tranny’s do not represent the majority of Beer drinkers— not in the USA anyway.

Garth Brooks is a no-talent rich kid with a huge supplied OIL moneyed trust fund in excess of 20 million dollars— a lifetime seeker of the “rush” of public performance and ATTENTION seeking from the start- including a ridiculous shift in his image to a character weirdo called “Chris Gaines”.... This clown is a musical dancing bear in music for all the wrong reasons. Most of real Nashville not the LA clowns or the NYC wannabees— real country people cannot stand him. He is not Country music, and is fake as hell.

imho informed by facts and not his publicity machine. He and taylor swift are meant for each other.

It may be just size and location. The family is having a private funeral without the fan-fare, too.

Of course, he's superrich now, but inherited family fortune? It doesn't sound like it from what I've been able to see online.

Contrast with Robert Dole’s funeral, which began with “Lift High the Cross,” a hymn proclaiming the gospel and the doctrines of the church, and ended with “I’m Proud to be an American.”

There is America, and there is antiAmerica; the Carters got their funeral hijacked by the latter, the result of staying Democrat long after it stopped meaning American.

Came out of nowhere and is heading back there in his desperate dotage. An original “crossover” to obamalamdingdong, and one of the most fake Lefties there is.

Money doesn’t talk- it swears (a leftie quote).

“But to sing that there is no heaven and no religion at the funeral of a woman who has always been portrayed as a devout Christian is certainly a strange choice.”

Rosslyn was a devout Christian? Yet belonged to the party of abortion/infanticide, homosexuality, transmania, antisemitism, etc, and that didn’t want God to be included in their platform at their convention?

Yeah, that’s a devout Christian (snort).

What do you expect? Back about 20 years ago the democrats turned Pal Wellstone’s funeral into a fundraiser/pep rally.
