As a Christian one of the things that immediately struck me when I came to faith was how different the world could have been if traditional, doctrinal, main stream Churchianity had embraced The Beatles when they hit the scene, rather than castigating them.
As it happened they were driven into Eastern religions welcoming arms and became a powerful force against Christ.
Shame on those Churchmen who reacted rather than responded to what they felt.
I have long sung my own edited versions of Beatle songs, like "All you need is Christ " ra de da de da!
The one below in no way changes my respect for what Lennon & McCartney wrote, indeed they are probably the most gifted songwriters of our time, but it tickled my fancy to post some alternatives pertinent to our times...
Imagine there's no Bankers
It's easy if you try
No debt to hound us
No interest rate so high
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no taxes
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to pay or evade
And no tax man too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no politicians
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or quangos
A politician ban
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Hopefully this hub will be received in the same sense of humor that Lennon expressed during his life.
