John Lennon actually did believe in Jesus. What took him away from that, was not his own ideas. But YOKO ONO. That is the truth. What is coming out now from various sources, that he spent a lot of time praying for his family, YOKO would have none of it.
@babystinky "Various sources" are not from the mouth of Lennon, and are therefore not worth quoting. After someone dies they cannot defend themselves and so should be left in peace. Assume that Lennon knew his own mind. Let him be.
depends what your talking about. If your talking about his period of drugs and living in the eye of the hurricane known as beatlemania, he had many different beliefs to choose from. If your talking about what he grew up with, and later tried to reclaim this belief, it was indeed Yoko that kept him from it.
@babystinky Yoko was his soul mate and they had similar beliefs. John always believed in something and you are giving to much power to Yoko. In interviews over those years that I have heard backs my opinion.
Yoko was a person who took advantage of John, when, quite frankly the man was all messed up. Just look at pictures of his body weight over the years. His voice, started to wane, he looked thin. She was no soul mate.
The things she did after Lennon's death, to the remainder of his family is not something to gloss over.
Julia Baird (Lennon's half sister) has nothing kind really to say about her, and there was tension with Julian obviously.
The Book In the last major interview Lennon gave, to Playboy in late 1980 (and later released unedited as a book, All We Are Saying)
In this last major interview Lennon gave, to Playboy in late 1980 (I’m religious in the sense of admitting there is more to it than meets the eye. I’m certainly not an atheist.”
Its on tape and its the "un-edited" version of that interview and you can see it in that book
I had the written text about 29 years ago or so, and not only does he say he isn't an atheist, he also says he doesn't believe in "evolution" and he certainly doesn't believe in "young earth creationism" he thinks both are garbage/
If you also type in the word "prayer" in that interview, he talks about a 'prayer' that was including on Double Fantasy and was recorded. Its actually gospel singers praying out loud. Its on the album, and he wanted it in.
@babystinky Cannot find it be more specific, your instructions are hard to understand from the current information presented on the current site you've stated.
I've also have the right to not believe that you use to have the written text 29 years ago. Therefore I am in the default position, until proven.
@babystinky Like I said please provide the instructions again, I already did the process and cannot find it. I went on google books and searched the magazine name and then I searched up keyword "atheist". And cannot find a single word matched. Provide the link. I would love to believe you but you are flat out mental. And of course you don't care I am just stating it out, just like how you stated that you use to have it 29 years ago.
And if you still after all of this "can't see it' then go to the article on the Net:
Type in this:
"The John Lennon You never Knew" it is an article under Ricochet.com
The article has the quote from the same source; the Playboy Interview
“People got the image I was anti-Christ or antireligion,” he said. “I’m not at all. I’m a most religious fellow. I’m religious in the sense of admitting there is more to it than meets the eye. I’m certainly not an atheist.”
@babystinky Cannot find the exact quote you mention in the first process and the second process cannot be relied on since the first process can't be seen. At pg 107 it didn't show me what you've implied. Therefore please show me another method on seeing the book itself. You desperate attempt is slowly failing.
BTW, the book is the "UN-EDITED" version of the full interview with Playboy. Not the edited version that was in print for the magazine and for the web. You have to buy the book.
The article that I linked to on Ricochet.com has the Quote
They would be sued if they made up that quote. Its in the official book end of story.
John Lennon, accepted the reality of "GOD"--not as a "man made" convention or religion. Same as myself, I don't believe God is some "man in the sky" but something much, much more and part of him is in all of us.
Whether or not John's parents gave him a Christian name or whether he met Paul in a church obviously has no connection to his own beliefs. I vote in a church -- does that make me a Christian? John believed different things at different times. As KoRnKob wrote, at the time he wrote this song, he was an atheist, & no, he couldn't possibly have made it any clearer.
@MyMusiclover28 dude i know he was protastant (a type of christian) but, he used the analogies in his lyrics to help make peace. in other words, i understood that he was a christian
No, he was not a protestant. He was not religious nor did he profess any allegiance to any church in particular. He actually says it very plainly in his songs that he did not believe in anything, only in himself.
@MyMusiclover28 From interviews I have seen he did believe in a higher power. Just because you don't believe in christianitly does not mean you do not believe in God.
@MyMusiclover28 oh u meant to say he wasNT a christian, ur wrong, he met paul in a church, he used to perform IN A MOFOING CHURCH! research before u coment u dumb ass.
Well, no... That could be so at the beginning, but that doesn't mean anything. He was not a Christian by the time he wrote songs like "Imagine" and "God"...just listen to his song "God".. " I don't believe in Jesus... I believe in me" ... I have done my research, I know what I am talking about and I don't have to embarras myself calling people dumb asses because they don't agree with me. If u are a Christian calling your church a MOFOING CHURCH won't sit well with your church.
@MyMusiclover28 he was just trying to reach his fans, it was a simbol to make peace, although he wasnt VERY religious he still did belive in G-d. next time u respond show me actual proof(in a video)
@5thfemalebeatle hes not, sladebarker doesnt know sit. john lennon's middle name was named after a church and he met paul in a church. he also played in a church sometimes beforte the beatles or the quarry men
@zManBearPig911z - Haha! I know I know. I don't know what mischievous gremlin overtook me yesterday. It always amuses me what wrangles people get into on youtube. I was feigning "retardation"
John, you feel me...all we needed was love, and we are still trying to make it happen. No revolution at home, but in the hearts of many. Think peace my friends; the man is a genius.
You're wrong. World peace does not necessarily come of inner peace-- one man's peace may be another man's destruction. John simply professes his escape from the fantasy of stardom.
ME did not save John. He should have believed in Jesus his God.

On Youtube -His Last Interview
watch?v=qsiXRdGFIO4
John Lennon says about 2:10 seconds in, talking about the Song "Imagine"-He speaks of imagining no countries, no religion...
Then he says...."Not Imagine no God" he then pauses and says "Your Entitled to do that to"--
So "YOU" are entitled to imagine it, but it isn't his thought, as he says clearly "Not imagine there is no God"
