"GOD IS LOVE; I SEE NO THREAT IN THAT' I see no meaning in that

[roampros]

@caputo350 you see not that which you do not seek; or, you are a miserable excuse for a thinking individual. Which is it-- threatened by Love; or just miserable? Choose now. Just one. :)

Man, the old Barr is packing some meat here.

[roampros]

@blueticecho Then you must be watching this video over-and-over, right?

[blueticecho]

@roampros Your are right I do.. Cause people are always looking at me the same way. What a great curse wouldn't you say .

[roampros]

@blueticecho I say it's a delusion with which you are afflicted. Seek help-- NOW!!! :)

[beachbumsailordude]

As true today as ever. I think the fact that he sung it live is probably pretty rare for that time, 1965.

[Omris45]

@roampros You sir, are quite a horrible person. :D

[smokeynewton]

I remember that some radio stations refused to play this song. Yea, I'm that old.

@Rockmanisoff

I was 9 back in 65' and I do remember watching Hullabaloo. Didn't have a clue of understanding what he was singing about. Got a bit older and heard the song a lot. Barry started to make sense. The older I've got, 4+ decades later, those lyrics make me as mad as he sounds!!! The truth of it's possibility should have gone away a long time ago, but NOOOOO..... we're clearly doomed to repeat history. You'd think by now we'd of learned.... something -- ANYTHING!

@Twistednerver Very true point. It's a damn shame how people use religion as an excuse or purpose for war. All religion promotes peace and yet we shrug that off. Maybe religion is flawed.... or maybe peace just won't work for us.

[Twistednerver]

@Rockmanisoff Damn right! That's why I've always loved this song, it's quite non impressive as song really quite simple melodically and harmonically, and there are countless songs from this era saying the same thing, BUT, he sings this shit like he's just heard the missles are coming and he's just waiting on the warheads to land, and he's thinking about how fucked humanity is and he's really like you know what fuck it! what's so great about us anyway.

@TigerBeat159 and conflict beyond ancient scrolls. And then people might be less willing to go off and die. For instance, if all the fighting the middle east has seen over the centuries was done under the guise of 'this is an important area whoever controls it controls trade between east and west and becomes very powerful geopolitically.' that might result in less recruits than 'we must please god, and win our place in heaven, by taking the holy land back from the infidels and heretics.'

[Twistednerver]

@TigerBeat159 I agree that at the core the issue is man, not religion. But religion gives people justification to kill in a way most other institutions do not. It gives one actor absolute purpose of action on 'god's side' and another actor absolute fault by being 'against god.' those are powerful concepts that cannot be compared to other concepts institutions create. A world without religion won't be magically peaceful, but it might be more stable, as people would have to rationalize war
