Are you "deeply disturbed" that the song Imagine by John Lennon was used as a theme at a chess convention?

You don't seem to be too "deeply disturbed" anymore; have you had a reflection?

please try to be less self assuming.

I'm not assuming anything, which is demonstrated by my asking you a question.

Originally posted by robbie carrobie
your use of terms such as 'seem' is self assuming because its based on a personal assumption. What 'seems', to be reality to you may infact not be anyone else's reality.

Well it seems to me that you are a massive bell-end.

How's that?

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can ...... well I think John was thinking of a Utopia that does not exist ....of course I would say that many of the ideas while well meaning are flawed. Who can bring in the perfect paradise ? ( using some JW terms there ) God and the perfect Government ? Dare I say even perfect Communism ? God would be the only one that could bring about all of these things

From the one biography of John Lennon that I did read, and not completely, I suspected that Lennon may have received Christ.

I could not prove it. The one biographical sketch of his late career days I read in the public library said he responded positively to some Christian TV evangelical event. It said he latter became very cynical about mainstream Christianity.

That's what the biographer said, and the author seemed to have no particular agenda other than to write a biography of John Lennon.

If you can take it, the publication Christianity Today had an article with some alledged quotes from Lennon's correspondences to a TV preacher. I have not read all of it.
