The Jewmanist

This is one of those it would be funny if it weren’t true situations, except it’s still funny no matter how true it remains. LOL

Amid growing controversy, church officials stand by their decision to allow their church bells to toll John Lennon’s Imagine.

Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral has drawn fire from those who believe that John Lennon’s message in the song is atheistic in nature and that it is, therefore, “wholly inappropriate.”

In case you forgot the lyrics to John Lennon’s 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 hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for / And no religion too
Imagine all the people / Living life in peace…

If rock music has anything to do with this so-called devil, please explain this:

Growing up Jewish, these things always bugged me. We weren’t religious (really at all), but referred to myself as Jewish without thinking twice. Crosses everywhere always made me feel left out. Not just traditional Christian crosses, but “rock crosses” in addition to other fashionable ones (like the ones Madonna used to wear). I always stood outside Christianity so I suppose I’m used to it.

Vampires
Many movies have debunked the part of the vampire myth that suggests a cross is a valid weapon against these creatures. However, it is still is used. I always found it odd that a cross could do the trick, but a Star of David was useless against vampires.

This part of Christianity really cheeses me off. The notion that only their God is the only true god and that their cross is the only means of debunking “evil”.

As you can see my atheist site version 4.0 is coming along. I say 4.0 because this is the fourth title I have used. But I finally got a domain. So, update your links, if you’d like. But old links will be forwarded.

EDIT: Old links may not be forwarded anymore since I changed platforms. Links will get redirected to my site anyway, but not necessarily the post. Please update any links.

Let me rephrase: At least I know where I do not. Sigh.
