@ultrasions He's not saying he doesn't believe in anything. He's saying all he can control is himself, whether it exists, whether it doesn't exist, all he's responsible for is himself and the ones he loves around him. He's no messiah or higher power and people should stop looking to him like he's something more than what he is. A human being. I don't believe in Hitler? Hitler is irrefutable. He's saying it means nothing to him, and all that matters to him is his family and himself and to move on
@Timeofflux actually, when John said Half of what I say is meaningless but I say it just to reach you, he was partly quoting Sand and Foam by Kahlil Gibran, which was written 42 years before the song Julia was recorded. The original quote is "Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it so the other half may reach you".
How analytical. And defensive. Empathize. Art is about feeling, connecting with other human beings... uh, children of God perhaps... whether or not they can identify with a God that can sit there and let children get tortured.
Your wording is somewhat imprecise. "... based on the premise that belief in God is directly proportional to the amount of pain one thinks one is going to suffer in an afterlife." Amused to read a theist´s felicities on YouTube. I myself beg God for money every day, but they won´t give me any.
As a musician John Lennon was great , as a philosopher this is the guy who put yoko ono on equal footing with himself by letting her share space on albums,did she prove this faith in her , NO !

John should have concentrated on the music, he realy did become a caricature of himself, putting a giant poster up which read happy christmas John and Yoko to all there subjects, i get embarrassed now just remembering it, look at the size of the universe, when you start to think that you are something important then you have lost your way a bit, he had mellowed a bit when he was murdered we were robbed of a great talent that was John Lennon
I really agree with you. Well said. John lost his way and started to believe in his own "image" But he was truly a man with a big heart. A diamond in the rough who fought many demons.

God is a Concept by which we measure our pain, I don't believe in : Magic, I-ching
, Bible, Tarot, Hitler, Jesus, Kennedy, Buddha, Mantra, Gita, Yoga, Kings, Elvis,
Zimmerman, Beatles...I just believe in me...Yoko & me.. and that reality...The dream is over ...What can I say?

@sismael why does he sound confused? because he said god is a concept by which we measure our pain, or because he said he only believes in me.
