This one goes out to all my Atheist friends here on ATS.
You do know the Mother Mary he refers to is his late mother, please tell me you didn't think it's the virgin Mary
Now, if that doesnt sum up christians, i dont know what does.

According to Mr. McCartney, the song was referring to his late mother, whose name was Mary.
Yet, one is free to interpret the lyrics as one wishes, no?

The author of the song, himself, has stated what the song is about. But people like you will misconstrue the lyrics to fit your own personal narrative.
I cant help but wonder, if you dont care about atheists, as you claim, why are you so obsessed with them?

Many songs are written with multiple lyrical meanings left open for the listener to interpret the way the want...I am not alone in suggesting that such is, could be, or may be the case.

and therein lies the problem....interpretation...
to interpret, is to change the meaning of what you're interpreting....
this is the same argument i run into when having constitutional debates...people talk about interpretations of the constitution...there's no need to interpret it, it's written in plain english, and so's the song.
and what's even worse is that the author of the song specifically, and clearly spells out what he was on about in the song, and people still choose to twist it to fit whatever they want it to mean...
seriously man....
