I never said the music wasn't attractive, alluring. But what was its agenda? Ah, there's the problem. "Imagine" is communist dystopian poetry.
"Dystopian"!?! Powerful word... You've totally missed the meaning of it though. Dystopian society is far from what you think it is. A dystopian society is a society that devalues culture and artistic expression. John Lennon embraced Jesus Christ and understood the gospel.

Jesus embraced and forgave sinners, while dystopian Pharisees tried to repress His message. If you want to go there... Jesus is all about liberation of humanity. The abuse of the good things that life provides are not provided by Jesus. The Pharisees called Jesus a Drunk, Glutton and mocked the company he kept.. to boot. When Jesus reigns... there will be no religion, because all will be kept right under the GOOD GOD MAN KING.
True wickedness is in people like Hitler and Manson... the Beatles were highlighting how prosperity has blinded western civilization to what true evil is, while the prosperous collectively demonize simple humanity in their attempt to identify evil as a social status type of human or religious culture.
The anti rock n roll... Anti sex... anti freedom gig ain't God's Gig. He forgave our corruption, but has continually been intolerant of violence from the wicked towards those that uphold the value of life, liberty and forgiveness. You're just plain skewed IP.
Religion has no place in Christ's Kingdom... outside of the book of James specific definition of "Religion". He led Israel out of "Egypt" with a strong hand and a law that has become the foundation of western civilization.
The Beatles were against dystopian society. Helter Skelter was a highlight of what "true evil" looks like and how it has turned society into an apathetic beast. It binds an amusement park ride to the state of confusion in it's lyrics. As always, you go to sources outside of the origin of the source material. You should have gone to the Beatles to understand the Beatles...
"A “helter skelter” is an amusement park ride with a slide built in a spiral around a high tower (it’s also British slang, meaning “in disorderly haste or confusion”)
"Paul McCartney – who penned the song – used the song as a response to critics who accused him of writing too many ballads. The proto-heavy metal musical backing emerged as Paul saw Pete Townshend saying The Who’s “I Can See for Miles” was “the raunchiest, loudest, most ridiculous rock and roll record you’ve ever heard", so he decided to up the ante, while also “using the symbol of a helter skelter as a ride from the top to the bottom; the rise and fall of the Roman Empire – and this was the fall, the demise.”

Mankind is incapable of propagating a genuine Utopia because greed and inequality drive us to disorder. Only when He Who needs nothing, provides Everything and conquers All Carnal Wickedness for eternity and takes the universal throne, will all be ORDERED.
For goodness sakes... read 1984 and watch "V for Vendetta"... oh... wait... they don't play those on "Day Star". Anyhow... get it right for a change doofy!
