well I dig Lennon too... what really sucks was learning just how wrong he was when I grew up.
"imagine" that is very similar to "nothing"

He wasn't wrong
just early...perhaps born 100 years before his time.

The Church of Satan dates to the 1960s. The text it is primarily based on is Crowley's Book of the Law which was published in 1904. Arguably the information contained in The Book of the Law goes back thousands of years. The fact is theistic Satanists, those who actually worship Lucifer, are in an extreme minority when it comes to Satanists. In fact most theistic Satanists do not like being referred to as Satanists due to the connection with LaVey's Church of Satan.

then what then would it all mean if there was nothing to live or die for ? maybe he didn't even realize what he was saying they were quite wasted I might add... Take a look at Yoko in that video damn ! she like a mindless automaton, hardly even a spark of life there.

ok, the most condensed argument possible
If there is a God, he did such a damn good job in everything that its impossible to see his actual work in anything. Every evidence ever uncovered matches perfectly a incredibly slow progression from mud to blood.
So...Since the world, and universe, is designed as such...if there is a God, clearly he wants us to believe in evolution..else why would he set up such a convincing model
God gave you a brain if you believe in God..therefore, he clearly wanted you to use it and uncover the truth (at least as far as he designed it to look). The simple non-brain answer is creationism...you have to use the gift of intelligence to understand evolution.
So...one could say, athiesm may indeed be the true intended belief system of a deity
Yes...this post is all philosophy, but some simply don't "get" hard science.

If there is nothing to die for, then you have to figure out what there is to live for.
Some would call this love and enlightenment...as per the videos symbolism
Judging other peoples affections based on how they "look" is not something I engage in..far too judgemental for my taste. From what I understand, they loved each other.

wow are you sure you are not a Christian or a believer of something or other ? this sounds exactly like Christianity...
let's philosophize on morality for a few, and where these belief structures came from and who first started to write them down.

these moral philosophies have been discussed and talked about long before 1854 !
that's really Cool ! you guys must be tough

For you to say that religious people held Universal Knowledge back to control people is absurd
Look at the crusades, the inquisitions, the witch-hunts, the protests whenever any holy book was translated into a more widely accessible tongue, the indulgences, and perhaps most recently suicide bombings for example. Do you honestly believe that, in a religion that started out preaching non-violence to monotheistic religions, blowing yourself up on a train carriage full of people (statistically speaking, most of them Christians) represents being given the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?edit on 9/12/2010 by TheWill because: (no reason given)

If that is your opinion you misinterpret the original purpose of this thread. Which is hypothesizing why Creationists(look the term up) refute the piles of evidence that support Evolution.
Do they do so because of Insanity or Willful Ignorance?edit on 9-12-2010 by TruthAboveIgnorance because: Why to Which
