I agree with NeedKarma. John Lennon was really big on world peace and happiness. He did grow up in the 60's! The song is about achieving that by getting rid of all the things that cause conflict between people. Religion and Government being two of these things. Its not brutal in any way.
would not do it in any of my churches, at times songs that are not christian are used in churches at weddings and other special events.
But then there are many churches where all sorts of things are done.
Who ever played that song in church apparently had a reason. Doesn't mean that they were acurate in their belief about the song...
Perhaps they heard only a portion of it... Whatever... If there intention was to make a joyful noise unto the lord... then it sure as he11 was appropriate.
Not everyone interprets things the same way.... I know people that are offended by Amazing Grace!
If it bothered you, say a prayer or a few hail mary's for yourself... that you'll be blessed with the ability not to judge the action of others.
I think it would be great for church. But, I'm an atheist and absolutely love the message in that song. Its actually in my mp3 player right now. If I were a Christian or Catholic Etc... Probably wouldn't be a good message. ( Imagine no Religion)
Dare I bring up the number of wars and killings based on one religion against another? Attrocities done in the name of religion.... enough said.
Some folks don't like it when a bible get's banned, and sure do argue about freedom of religious expression... as long as it meets their idea of acceptable.
If what that song was about, existed on earth, wouldn't that be like heaven without the need for the current fighting between groups??? There would not be this religion or that religion... with opposing views.... It does not say there would be nothing spiritual.

I agree with much of what you are saying. But if I were a member of an atheist group, and we had a hall that we met at for learning and discussion and someone started playing " Cuom-bi-ahh my Lord--- Cuom-bi-ahh"... I would be a little curious as to why they thought it was appropriate. Remember that its their house, the people there are not there to debate or as the song says "imagine a world without religion."
