@Jluvin67 the meaning is clear and blatant, it's not indirectly about anything. it's about the class system, not indirectly about it's by-products. to narrow conformity down to religion, much less one religion, is ridiculous.
@beatlefreak59 Well same thing! No one is popular than Jesus Christ! They are false prophecies. Jesus is the real propphecy. By the way Mormen is not the same as Christianity. Do some reaserch!
@19GirlBad i never said it was i know mormens are way way diffrent. at that time th belates were to Some kids but i do under stand what your getting at so your kool but not you ledZeppelin7680
Christianity will not go. Culture dies. My generation never had enough kids and they are dying off. Just as the Romans and Greeks did - while Christianity lives on. Christians are 2.1 billion people. They have already passed the faith on to the next generation. The Church spreads by word of mouth. The Bible was written over several millenia, reflecting an evolution in thought and practice.
@ledZeppelin7680 Im not insane. Im telling the truth. The Bible does not mention the bad stuff you may point out. God states it is up to mankind if we be good or bad. As you can see there are a lot of conspiracy killing famous people such as President John F.Kennedy who was a good man and wants to make a better world. But the CIA are responsible for killing the last true President. Rich people do not give a shit to the poor and chose their own fate. It is called "free burden of the will."
@19GirlBad why don't you take a look at some of the claims the bible makes, planet earth is flat and square, rape is okay, slavery is necessary, and going as far as to claim that this planet has seen mere thousands of years of existence, when it's a scientific fact that it's been here for millions. I always wonder if lunatics like you were just a little more intelligent and a little less insane, maybe you'd realize how pathetic you are. enjoy wasting your life on a fairy tail.
@19GirlBad people took that out of context he said TO SOME KIDS were more POPULOR [NOT BETTER?BIGGER} than jesus[people in america take things and say omg he said that well did you even lisen to the rest? i dint need to...... f@#$ you!!! lol sorry
@beatlefreak59 and what was the beginning of the quote, hmm? the point was that christianity was little more than a trend. a social standard, and that's reality. christian is just another word for stupid.
@beatlefreak59 you see? this is why you people are ridiculed so much, you're fucking pathetically stupid. tell me, you fucking slave, why is it that I, someone who cares nothing about your little fairy tell of a book, possesses an immensely superior amount of knowledge of your own religion to you, and 80% of your peers? jesus is said to be the son of god, you fucking ape, not go himself. you're wasting your life on a religion you know nothing about. you deserve death, you truly do.
@ledZeppelin7680 yeah i onley went to church like 4 times and i accept the fact that you realley care about this argument when i couldnt care less so have fun you troll!!! EPIC WINNING!
@ledZeppelin7680 The point of John's music was to prove that you can be anything and say anything and people could still coexist peacefully. His opinions on religion were more mutual than anything.
@MrsVickyLennon ''christianity will go, it will vanish and shrink'' ''a man must break his back to earn his day of leisure, will she still believe it when he's dead'' ''god is a concept by which we measure our pain'' just a few of the things lennon had to say about religion. you'll find protests to religion in even his most popular song, imagine. no musician has one point to make, to narrow everything he's ever done down to ''anyone can do anything'' is just ridiculous.
@istranglebabys I'm sure there's a john lennon video in your language you can troll on, so why are you wasting your time trying to speak english on mine?
@Bagadaboats I think you'll find it's neither. john had many songs that were public protests of religion, this is not one of them. Working Class Hero is a protest to the class system, and the conformity that made it possible. the basic message is, rich people who treat less fortunate people differently are hypocrites because they're all slaves in one way or another, whether it be religion, media, drugs or violence, none of them are in control.
@BonerMaroner Imagine, god, girl... just a few of his high profile protests of religion. the reality is that his fantasy world of peace and love came from drugs. if mimi had any influence on his desire for peace, he wouldn't have been beating on all of his friends as a teenager. his knowledge of the bible was minimal at best, and the bible preaches things like rape, slavery, murder and revenge. if the bible had any influence on him at all, there would be no beatles.
@lllburgundylll Yea, I know. Jesus wasn't a Christian either. Jesus was also a dissident but that part of his message has always been edited out of his story. 300 years is a long time.
to everyone that is posting on this video: please do not forget the message that is being transmitted through this song. fuck the system, free will is hardly an easy thing to practice, and above all, for all of you people who bust your fucking ass day in and day out like me, put this shit on and let it be your anthem.

@CheetahLuver12 Ugly??? WTF????? What degenerate, slob humping, douche bag, would even think to say something so ridiculously moronic??? Please show me, as I'd like to send them a gift card for a free back-hand, right across the mouth. High School??? More like freak'n grade school! "Ugly". My god, the sheer level of stupidity at times displayed by some people, is utterly astounding.
@gjc82071 I did say ugly or NOT... I don't think he's ugly. Other people do, as a matter of opinion. Grade school---- you're right on that one. And stupidity is outrageously common on YouTube.... which I hate. And I can point down the lines of comments showing you how many people keep saying he's ugly. Again... I never said I thought he was.... I actually think he's pretty unique-looking. :)
@Norum86 I wonder if you would have the same views had your mother been one of millions of innocent people tortured and killed for the greater good of fascism 67 years ago. communism scares stupid americans, fascism kills all who appose.
@ledZeppelin7680 so what you are saying is that communism didn't kill millions of people, even more than fascism. Stalin himself is responsible for possibly as many as 100 million deaths (although the 50 mil mark is more reasonable)...so please, you've got to try harder to convince me about fascism being worse than communism. Communism kills all those who oppose as well.
@Norum86 ''Communism kills all those who oppose as well.'' oh really? then I'd love to know how there's 3 million people living in america always going on about communism and the bullshit they call democracy. the entire country considers everything opposed to be communism. it's clear you don't know what communism is, the ''communism'' demonstrated by people like stalin is just like what americans call democracy, very far from what it actually is.
Mind you, I grew up in a communist country so I think I may know a little better about communism than you or some poor villagers who have been brainwashed by marxists and communists who just wanted to take control of the country.
@Norum86 that's cool, you grew up in a communist country, who gives a fuck. 3000 innocent people were killed by their own government 10 years ago in a country strongly in favour of democracy, communism has absolutely nothing to do with it.
@Norum86 communism did not kill 50 million people, STALIN killed 50 million people, can you comprehend that? stalin is a guy, not a form of government. if you're going to blame someones personal views for their actions then you might as well try to convict paul mccartney for the manson murders. ''Last time I checked 50 million vitctims of Stalin's regime was not equal to 3000 people.'' are you fucking numb? 3000 is GENOCIDE! if communism kills people, then so does fucking democracy.
@Norum86 so what's the point going around blatting about communism where it's not relevant? you just said that communism, democracy and liberalism kill people, and we're all aware of WWII, so did it ever ocure to you that maybe it's not government forms that are killing people but HUMANS HAVE BEEN BLOOD THURSTY ANIMALS SINCE THE DAWN OF EXISTENCE? politics do not kill people, people kill eachother and that will NEVER change.
@ledZeppelin7680 If you are claiming that nobody has ever died in the name of a political ideology, I highly recommend you go back & read a few history books. In them, provided you read the right books, you will find chapters covering subjects like WW2, Korea, Vietnam, The Cold War, etc. I'd estimate that close to 100 million people have lost their lives in those wars, wars which where all based on political ideology. Nazi, Commie, Capitalism, Democracy VERSUS their respective counterparts.
@ledZeppelin7680 Maybe I did misdirect my comment, that would be called a "mistake". Obviously I can read/write. For you to even suggest I cant, I mean really......how ridiculous do you want to get over 1 simple, tiny mistake?
@newhoodie18 What about the people who like the regime what about them? Id say about 30-40% like the regime. The other half are pissed because they cant find a job.. And thats not the governments fault
