I had another post prepared to share, but a more pressing issue blipped onto my radar screen and I believe this post from a while back is appropriate for today’s religious dialog. 🙏
“Imagine no heaven or hell….and no religion, too. You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.” JOHN LENNON
I don’t know how I missed this post the first time around, but it’s brilliant. Every Christian, and “Christian”, should read it.

I find every word in Lennon’s “Imagine” to be relevant and meaningful. I try very hard not to critique religions, whether Christianity, Judaism, Islam or others. Personally, when religion, no matter what religion, takes away the rights of others, or attempts to, then … I have no use for it. I find too much arrogance in all religions … to believe that theirs is the “one and only right” religion is the height of arrogance. Sigh.

Hello there. This is good. I love John Lennon. I’m on the crossroads, and faith is something that either boggles or fascinates me. I am just new here in WordPress (2 weeks actually), and I also wrote a book review/wrote about my take/experience of reading Anne Lamott. Here it is: https://kloydecaday.wordpress.com/2019/07/24/books-on-faith-terrify-me-until-anne-lamott/.
Good job for supporting self-expression through writing. I appreciate it if we follow each other and keep on blogging. Thank you!
