John Lennon, Cosmopolitan and the Satanic Temple

It was my senior year of high school when John Lennon released his famous hit song “Imagine.” With its engaging melody throngs of young and old alike were swaying and singing along with lyrics like “Imagine there’s no heaven, it’s easy if you try, no hell below us, above us only sky.” Then there was this poignant line “nothing to kill or die for and no religion, too.” Certainly, the song influenced thousands if not millions of young people to yearn for some sort of utopia devoid of any divisiveness and without limitations on human conduct. If only that could be the case, then we all could be happy just doing our “thing” and living the good life with no restrictions and no condemnation, or so the song went. from CBNNews.com https://ift.tt/l6jwx91
