Imagine all the people living life in peace ....

Baha'u'llah's vision for a united humanity is a realisation that is all encompassing.

The foundations have been poured by the blood of tens of thousands of martyrs.

The building is being placed brick by brick, soon the building resources will multiply.

What martyrs? Did Muslims kill tens of thousands of Bahais?

That's funny. You mock me for allegedly speaking for Lennon and then you say you are positive about what he knows now that he is dead.

I based my comments on research. What did you base your comments on? Your knowledge of what heaven is like?


Currently, John knows nothing. John does not exist.

When he did exist ...

Imagine (John Lennon song) - Wikipedia

When asked about the song during one of his final interviews, Lennon said he considered it to be as strong a composition as any he had written with the Beatles.[11] He described the song's meaning and explicated its commercial appeal: "Anti-religious, anti-nationalistic, anti-conventional, anti-capitalistic, but because it is sugarcoated it is accepted ... Now I understand what you have to do. Put your political message across with a little honey."​

"Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Songs like that are to me how the good of God permeates the mind of man.

Men pluck lyrics out of mind, sometimes not knowing they have a connection to all the good that comes from God.

Thus I see this song contains many of the good things that will happen, mixed with John's view of the world.

You see it how you wish, John sees it has he chooses.

Yes that did. Tens of thousands of saints.

Yadda, yadda, yadda. Nothing you just said has any bearing on your previous assertions. Included in those assertions are that you know what John Lennon is thinking now that he is dead.

Also, why did you post the lyrics without reading or understanding them:

No hell below us
Above us only sky​

No heaven, no hell. Two things that are important aspects of many religions including yours via Islam and Christianity.

And no religion too​

Could that be any clearer before you understand it? It sure doesn't say: Only One Religion.

Yes that did. Tens of thousands of saints.

Why are they martyrs? Who made them saints? From what I've read, some were just ordinary, every day Bahais. Do you consider the 6,000,000 jews the Nazi Christians killed to be martyrs and saints? How about the 3,000,000 Japanese or the 15,000,000 Chinese?
