On 4 March 1966 in an interview for the London Evening Standard with Maureen Cleave, who was a friend of his, Lennon made an off the cuff remark regarding religion. "Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. ... I don't know what will go first--Rock and Roll or Christianity. We're more popular than Jesus now. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me."

John Lennon returned to the subject in December, when he told LOOK magazine that "I believe Jesus was right, Buddha was right, and all of those people like that are right. They're all saying the same thing--and I believe it. I believe what Jesus actually said--the basic things he laid down about love and goodness--and not what people say he said.... If Jesus being more popular means ... more control, I don't want that. I'd sooner they'd all follow us even if it's just to dance and sing for the rest of their lives. If they took more interest in what Jesus--or any of them--said, if they did that, we'd all be there with them."

The parts in red are what I once said, not word for word but shares the same meaning. It feels so good to find someone who thinks or rather thought the same way as me. I'm not anti-christ, definitely not but I just dont understand the "new" christianity. You guys have no idea what I'm feeling right now. I have to agree that whatever he said 40 years ago makes perfect sense, at least to me. Although he's gone, his spirit will continue to live on. It will.


Some of you may recognise this pair of shoes, I own one. :) When I first saw this pair of shoes, I thought it's nice and blah. After I saw the words "John Lennon" on it, I told myself I have to get it! It's a must! After reading what he once said, I treasure this pair of shoes even more. Especially since the design was drawn by the man himself.
