To me saying "the concept of war is over" isn't a call for peace but for some sort of NewSpeak-style eradication of the ability to think about war. I don't think that's what John and Yoko were saying.
The use of Junction is interesting. It implies that Jesus is either "the god who was crucified" or "the god whose name is X", both of which are not without precedent in Christian practice. Naming Jesus "cross-god" rather than "savior-god" or "etymology-of-'Jesus'-god" is, as I was just saying to lumpybeast, felicitous but not obvious.
In my head, I see Christian missionaries starting with the symbol of the cross when explaining their religion to rikchiks, the rikchiks coming up with "junction-god", and the missionaries saying "ok, that works" and rolling with it. Rikchik names for other human religions are left as an exercise to the reader.
As a non-linguist, I'm going to have to trust your judgment on that one. If anyone asks me why I don't think Aafrikans is a real language I'll send them to you.
