From a recent thread:
"Yes, let us hold up the Beatles as a fine example of how to live your life. One was gunned down, One can not enjoy lasting relationships with women, Another was reduced to a small bit on children's shows and the fourth you never hear of. They may have their worldly wealth, but God silenced them as a group from spreading any additional blasphemy."
So . . . God shot John Lennon? Man, and to think people think the Norse godhs are tough!

Here's the thing----if God killed John Lennon for "Imagine," how come Mick Jagger's shagging 19 year old Brazilian models at 60 after singing "Sympathy for the Devil?" Where's the consistency?
Aside from being hateful and small-minded, isn't it kind of delusional to jump on ANY bad thing that happens to people you disagree with while ignoring the obvious prosperity and success others doing exactly the same things?

One who cannot enjoy lasting relationships? Paul and Linda were married over 30 years!!!!!!!
Ringo on children's shows. At least he is working. He has also been married to Barbara Bach for decades.
And George doesn't do much because he is DEAD!!!!! Cancer, NOT God.
Besides being a complete idiot, the person who wrote that dribble was totally uninformed.
I wonder what music he/she has in their music collection.

The fourth, George, died but had an active career until then. Paul was married for years and was widowed when Linda died. His second marriage didn't work out but the same is true of a lot of people. Musically he's been the most successful of all of the Beatles since their break up. Ringo does music and acting and did a kids show (what's wrong with that?) on the side.
All in all the thread is a crock.

I thought John Lennon was 'God' ??? ...or at least pretty close as far as humans go ... next to maybe the Dalai Lama :)
I think it's blasphemy to speak of the Beatles, and especially John Lennon, in such an evil manner :)

Ok, I must say that person is a fool. Using their weird thinking. I guess God killed Falwell and Tammy Faye because they were bad examples. *rolls eyes* I mean really. How stupid.

It still saddens me that those people can be so ignorant, and hateful to no apparent end.
The small consolation picturing God lurking on the sidewalk with an automatic.

And the Traveling Wilbury's were pretty popular!

Apparently some folks actually believe in a God who assassinates people when they make him angry. Odd, huh?

I'm not surprised. But scary that people think this way.

Lennon's choice was not to follow God so the enemy does what he does best and destroyed him. Just Like Morrison,Hendrix,and the other legends. Now a days it can happen to anybody just the same.
