ok- this is a bit late but sed:

I appreciate and respect your views, but this song has nothing to do with Jesus.
And I say nothing whatsoever.
It is a folk song, which are rarely anything like gospel,
and while it may not be completely free of religious tone, it might be described as secular humanism. So please, think what you want, but leave the Jesus out of the post.

I think we should drop the religious discussion. It's been covered. Thanks.
