| John Lennon (10-9-40 to 12-8-1980) |
John Lennon's views on Christianity and Jesus Christ first came into focus when he made his infamous remark that the Beatles where "More popular than Jesus" in 1966. John Lennon had previous stated that Christianity was in decline and therefore the Beatles had become more popular than Jesus Christ.
The comment didn't draw controversy when originally published in the United Kingdom, but angry reactions flared up in the Christian communities when it the ill advised comment was republished in the United States five months later.
The following are thoughts and quotes by John Lennon including those regarding religion:
Imagine all the people living life in peace. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one.
John Lennon
I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.
John Lennon
Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it.
John Lennon
I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?
John Lennon
I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people.
John Lennon
If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.
John Lennon
As usual, there is a great woman behind every idiot.
John Lennon
If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
John Lennon
You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!
John Lennon
Love is the flower you've got to let grow.
John Lennon
Love
is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you've got to let
it grow.
John Lennon
Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock and roll or Christianity.
John Lennon
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground.
John Lennon
Music is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.
John Lennon
Everything is clearer when you're in love.
John Lennon
Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.
John Lennon
All you need is love.
John Lennon
The following are thoughts and quotes by Jesus Christ to compare:
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to cast a stone.
Life
is what happens while you are busy making other plans.

you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.

We've
got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept
it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself.
You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture
it.
