John Lennon and Jesus:
"Christianity will go,"
he said. "It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about 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 'n' roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right,
but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them
twisting it that ruins it for me."
John Lennon later apologized for
his statement and recorded his apology on a separate record album.
