Imagine
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 isn't to hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world would be as one
Imagine no possesions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world would be as one
If thats "Occult" or "Satanism", count me in!

Yes, it might be Satanism, though not very "occult" it seems.
Satan is a false peacemaker who never makes war. Ask yourself
how the "imposed peace" might occur -- perhaps by the deliberate
restriction of freedom to make war, i.e. removing powers of Congress?
Why should any nation be denied the capacity to make war, but by
forces of globalist (corporate) totalitarianism? What would be the
outcome upon human species of "unceasing peace" in the world?
Ask yourself if the view that denies war is really tenable. The Bible
mentions "a time for war, and a time for peace." Revelations concerns
an account of Judgment Day: is it one philosophical contention of the
contributors on this thread that there will never be a Judgment Day?
Without judgment, then how would the "great separation" occur?

Perhaps you should then go live in the communist world, or what
was left of it, and then get back with us concerning your prognosis.

A Satanic link to the Beatles is a likely possibility, actually.

Technically speaking, the "sky" consists of Earth's
atmosphere, since "outer space" encompasses a circuit
around the entire planet. The OED lists "heaven" as one
of the references for "sky" however, in defs. 2a, 3, 4, which
leads that Beatle lyricist into an -illogical- contradiction:

>> Imagine all the people living for today
Which denies them a liberty of living for yesterday and tomorrow.
Hmmm. Wasn't another famous Beatle's tune titled "Yesterday?"
>> Imagine there's no countries
Right. Just one globalist totalitarian corporate mess, without
popular sovereignty, and without governmental accountability.
>> It isn't to hard to do
>> Nothing to kill or die for
In other words, no ideals, and no core beliefs...
>> And no religion too
Disingenuous. Beatles fans have formed their own religion.
>> Imagine all the people living life in peace
Yet the people of Israel are "those who struggle." There is
no peace for the wanderer. Richard claims these are lyrics of
"communism" and yet the Beatles became quite rich, not sharing
all of their wealth and property as "good communists" ought to do.
>> You may say I'm a dreamer
>> But I'm not the only one

>> And the world would be as one
What God has driven asunder no man can put together.

Easily said and done, but only by the rich and famous.
