Follow up on the Preacher Man

So Terry Jones, the assclown from Florida, didn't burn the Koran. He was just doing this to show how evil Muslims are. How they are all extremists. All he did was show what is wrong with America. All he did was show why we are hated in the world. Mr. Jones, sir, you are a disgrace. You have shown, atleast to me and more people if they opened their eyes, what religion actually is. Religion is a tool of hate anymore. Has anything been used as an excuse to cause more pain and death and hate? I will end this with the following quote:

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

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

Having (literally) grown up with the song, sometimes I take the lyrics for granted. I'll never forget the first time I played it for a friend who, at the time, was slightly religious. With the first line, he was thinking that the song must be about the horrors of living your life without God. The when Lennon sang, "it's easy if you try" he was shocked and appalled.

I laughed then, but the guy turned into a hard core fundamentalist later.
