Ummmm….try listening to the song "Imagine" by John Lennon and resist being radicalized. If you can resist, your heart is either cold, dead or hard
I've listened to the song. Have you read the New Testament?
I've read enough of it. I just think in the short time it takes to hear that song one can receive a much more enlightening, positive and obtainable outlook on life than in the hours/days it would take to read the New Testament.
Perhaps the way I worded my first comment seemed to come of as a harsh statement when it wasn't intended to be so. I think the Lennon song should be the anthem for the world.
The New Testament may promote peace, but history has shown it doesn't achieve it. Especially with it's wicked father (The Old Testament) still lurking around.
That'll be a "no" then.
Actually, that would be a 'I've read enough of it to form my opinion"
I've also read children's books and watched enough TV sitcoms that all have a positive message at the end.
Fiction can be fun…I won't argue that.
