Community Center Geeks' Lounge by KushMishra Awesome quote and much appreciated :) Re: Thoughts, Poetry and Much More... Community Center Geeks' Lounge by ddanbe John Lennon once sang in a famous song: *"Imagine there's no heaven"* Does this means he assumed there WAS a heaven? Re: Thoughts, Poetry and Much More... Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Reverend Jim He was speaking to people who believe in heaven. Re: Thoughts, Poetry and Much More... Community Center Geeks' Lounge by ddanbe Oh, yes of course. Thanks Reverend. Re: Thoughts, Poetry and Much More... Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Reverend Jim There was a great episode of an old show (WKRP In Cincinatti) where a local man of the cloth (who was leading a "moral" crusade to clean up the airwaves) told the radio station director that "Imagine" must not be played because it says there's no heaven.

Community Center Geeks' Lounge by KushMishra I think **Reverend Jim** and **otengkwaku**, we all can have different perceptions about anything or anyone and that's why we all are different and we all are humans.

Speaking of my personal beliefs, Yes I am a frim believer of God but as **… Re: Thoughts, Poetry and Much More... Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Reverend Jim We talk about things we can't prove all the time. If I say "Shawshank Redemption" is the greatest movie of all time there is no way to prove that because it is merely an opinion. Likewise when I was asked about heaven I opened with "in my opinion".
