[DANGITBOBBEH1997]

Yap yap

[TheMrwilliams94]

[fundieangel]

@TheMrwilliams94 the guy talking is John Lennon?

[fundieangel]

Tom, George, Ringo and Michael?

[fundieangel]

Justin Bieber is more popular than the beatles

the beatles more popular than Jesus? that is a bad joke, In most of the countries people knows the beatles but very few people can say the names of the 4 memebrs

[HasmikM]

noone is bigger than JESUS...i don't know if Paul wanted to say they were bigger than Jesus IS BIGGER or not...

[XxalexX3372]

im a student of history and i think the beatles are so overrated!!!.in every time people need something to belive and the beatles were in the right moment so that why are so overrated!!.but im not sayin there were bad!!

[Redding28]

Beatles make me happy,Jesus don't.

Religion make me sad,Beatles make love everyone.

[porterbehling]

@Redding28 that's kinda sad

[Supergear100]

@Redding28 LMAO!

[LauraOverland]

And Paul, George and Ringo are just sitting there drinking

[Lennon4ever1]

Maybe Jesus is the most 'popular' now, The Beatles were 'popular' at that time to a degree of fame that had never seen before! Who will be the MOST famous and influential in the distant future? Long ago , Jesus was not as 'popular' as Socrates or Confucius....Maybe 500 years from now, John Lennon will be like Socrates and Ghandi will be like Jesus is now!

[DeadlyToke]

I'm not saying we're bigger than jesus, i'm just sayin we're bigger than jesus

[TopGoldVideos]

JESUS > beatles

[naminaty1]

@TopGoldVideos Hell no, JEBUS > Beatles

[Vtow01]

I agree.

[321pieguy]

[05killerscorpion05]

[RobG93G]

@05killerscorpion05 the beatles are.

[AttackTheSource1]

@fundieangel Jesus Daily + Jesus on Facebook - 14million likes. The Beatles - 23.5million. What do you know?!

[fundieangel]

@AttackTheSource1 Facebook is an atheist website, maybe satanic. Jesus is not there believe me

[AttackTheSource1]

@fundieangel ROFL, oh wow, thanks for making me laugh you fuckwit.

[lovelyguurl94]

@mrfwest actually, the Beatles were one of the first bands to write more than 90% of their own music... 

[mrfwest]

the beatles were a covor band all there songs were from other artist

[oyra123]

@mrfwest I think you mean Elvis. Elvis did not write any of his own material. The Beatles composed and wrote hundreds of epic songs that influenced all those who came after them :)

[mrfwest]

@oyra123 The Beatles - A Taste of Honey" ( stolen) The Beatles - twist and shout ( stolen ) --- The Contours song

The Beatles - Roll Over Beethoven ( stolen ) ----- chuck berry song

the beatles - i feel find ( stolen )

i could keep going... the Beatles couldn't make music. they took a song and added new words a lot of time the didn't change much ( beatles is a cover band )

[oyra123]

@mrfwest Yes, please keep going. Oh, don´t bother - I can give you the stats: The Beatles composed and wrote 275 songs, and in addition recorded 25 cover-versions. I would say those are pretty good numbers.

You say they could not make music; that is your opinion and you are in your full right to say so, but my opinion is that you must me tone deaf if you really mean that :)

[sclongisawesome]

@mrfwest They mostly covered songs in their early days. The Beatles are the greatest band of all time, so quit trolling because apparently they are better than you.

[JackelopePrincess]

@mrfwest they didn't STEAL the songs...plenty of people made and still make covers of songs. The fact of the matter is they wrote many of their own songs; they were and still are famous. Just accept it and stop searching for things to complain about.

[Rapeak]

they really actually didn't mean to say it but it is was the people thought of them before. Logic, the people are the ones who said it not them.

[misscarly12]

i understand him

[penshoe404]

Well! hes not an atheist. I think he only said what in his mind and opinion, that's the type of his personality as a human being.

[penshoe404]

right!!!

[penshoe404]

In reality they are all entertainers sports, music, movies. That's their job, work or profession and we are the Boss of our self. It is in our own to watch them in pay per view or buy what they're selling.

[penshoe404]

John Lennon only misunderstood by stupid people. In reality the beatles are only a musician they make music to make people happy, they are entertainer just like others in showbusiness and sports. He said that in his opinion, but agreed him saying that in his "wrong way of saying", but don't let us give this a bad meaning.

[theraperance]

The religion is useless, The Beatles is music to your soul, the true heaven.

[jamirosmajicrocks]

i dont understand why this was so misunderstoot, i mean it is almost objective, they actually were the most famous band ever, jesus is less noticed.

[MunisAwesome]

In the 1960s, 20-30% followed christianity. Maybe less, During the 1960s the WORLD loved The Beatles. And we all still do... Europe, Asia, Oceania, And the Americans were all fans of the beatles. Which is WELL over 30%. Which means John Lennon was telling the truth. He didn't say anything offensive, He was just being honest. He shouldn't have to apologize because the rednecks in the southern states had a cry.

[fundieangel]

@MunisAwesome

If Justin Bieber says "Im more popular than John Lennon" All the atheists and satanics will be mad. lol

[MunisAwesome]

@fundieangel No, I'm pretty sure everyone except for most 12-16 year old girls would be mad. There are more religious people in Australia (Where I'm from) who are fans of Lennon then atheists, Might be because there aren't many atheists. And why would satanics listen to him xD He sings about love and peace. And I have nothing against Bieber, But I'm pretty sure he's more infamous then famous.

[babyxiin05]

FVCKIN LENNON ! >:@

haha LENNON how's ur life on HELL ? :))

satanic people !

[TotallyRandomVideos9]

@babyxiin05 i don't think he can here u from heaven Satan

[fundieangel]

Honestly i find the Beatles boring and OVERPLAYED

[TotallyRandomVideos9]

@fundieangel cuz their better than tht god awful todays shit and whatever crap ass music u like wont ever amount to the beatles

[fundieangel]

@TotallyRandomVideos9 stop watching porn, you can't write very well

Jesus is the Lord

[TotallyRandomVideos9]

@fundieangel oh wow is tht ur comeback? haha ur a lil kid smart ass, what i said had nothing to do with jesus nor religion, it had to do with the fact the beatles are better than any music u like u fucking dumbass

[xxxcharlotte06021xxx]

@fundieangel Maybe don't watch videos about them then.

[fundieangel]

the Top comments, its a prove that most people on YouTube are satanics

[nightcrawler511]

i love john lennon but he's not bigger then Jesus, he said in an interview in the late 70's how if whatever brings you closer to Jesus than do it.

[DarkIzzBack]

John Lennon is bigger than JESUS!

ahaaaa

[keaton1895]

Americans did not understand what John said and took it out of context. That was really a crazy time.

[matchbox555]

anyone is bigger than someone who never existed

[sharinganchidori100]

i hate people who still hate john for what he said. i mean come on! get over it! it was a long time ago and u still hate him? heres something for all off you "learn how to forgive" that is something jesus would want all of you to do. and when john said they were bigger then jesus christ he basically said that they are in the ranks of him ok? if your in 2011 and you still hate john? GO FUCK YOURSELF :)

[spikecemildamon]

the point is people understand this speech wrong.he says people says they believe but they do not do anytihng about believe,they spend their time more with tv or beatles.anyway i am an atheist in turkey and i love john very much

[rblackwell2009]

Look at the type of people complaining about John Lennon. Three years before the same sort were using water cannon and police dogs against Black children and other civil rights protestors. What a disgrace they are to America.

[somelezo]

John Lennon said "we're 'bigger' than Jesus now..." and he died and saw Jesus and jesus said "See? I'm bigger. :)"

[PatrickReyesTV]

@somelezo amen

[somelezo]

@PatrickReyesTV Haha I heard that from a sermon on Vintage jesus by a Pastor called "Mark Driscoll" When i first heard it i laughed so hard. Thankd for the comment.

[genki217]

this is the time paul saw a very scared john

[nightcrawler511]

i believe in God, and i always always listen to the beatles. john was just taken out of context.

[xmarijeeemj]

I feel so bad for John because so many people starting truly HATING him and he even received death threats... it's insane. I read he once got a letter saying he was going to be shot and it made him so scared.

:(

[cdavilavera7]

He didn't say they were better than Jesus, he just said that they were more popular in a matter of fact, because its true, too, even up to now, they are still so popular. It didn't even mean that they were mocking the Lord, they just stated a fact. And John's song 'imagine' isn't an antiChrist song, for crying out loud. It is a very good composition, a thing which i am sure Jesus wanted us His people to apply in our lives. And that is peace. John was never an antiChrist. Period.

[SteveHealyyy]

You can't compare the two ultimately. Jesus is a religious figure who may or may not have existed in the minds of people, a channel for faith and joy. But the Beatles were here to see, they made people happy with their music. The bottom line is even if John meant it that way, you could definitely argue that he was right. There's no reason to suggest why the Beatles weren't bigger than Jesus at the time, it's just person opinion. People shouldn't be so over-protective about religion anyway

[BeatlesBabe564]

Jesus Christ as a person or God as a thing or whatever it is.

[BeatlesBabe564]

Haha, if this hadnt been very serious, and I had been told about teens saying they like the Beatles more than Jesus, I would have said

"Well, doesnt everybody like us more than Jesus Christ?!" Because that is my personal opinion, Im an athiest.

[Flerg3]

Jesus never had a hit record.

[danielm119]

@Flerg3 but he did have a best-selling book!

[eddiemurphyfan100]

@Flerg3, he could if he wanted

[avor]

@Flerg3 he has the best seller

[HELIOWITZ]

@Flerg3 Jesus had one of the most popular bestsellers in all of history - the bible

[fallensk8er64]

@HELIOWITZ Jesus didn't write the bible....

[Lennon4ever1]

@fallensk8er64 New 'books of enlightenment' are coming in the not too distant future. The bible will eventually fade into mythological history with all the other dead myths, but slowly I'm afraid! Humanity is reaching for something, the new generations emerging will not be so easily fooled. And I sincerely believe John Lennon had a lot to do with that!

[DavidCastoe]

@HELIOWITZ Jesus didnt even rite the bible, considering the bible couldn't even give us his birth date, I wouldn't consider that a valid description of Jesus.

[TheIllegalKind]

@Flerg3 he could have if he wanted to

[ThatPokeyGuy]

@TheIllegalKind But he didn't, did he? x3

[HasmikM]

@Flerg3 JESUS JUST LOVES people like u,,,HE IS FULL OF LOVE AND LOVES EVEN u...HE CAN HAVE EVERYTHING IF HE WANTS,,BUT ALL HE WANTS IS THAT WE LIVE WITH HIM AND DON'T SUFFER...

[giligara30492]

If people would have just stopped to analise the sentence carefully, they would have understood that John wasn't comparing the value of religious belief with the value of liking his music. He was comparing their popularities. Furthermore, he was not even, by any means, qualifying his statement, which, again, if people had taken a closer look at his comment, would have made them conclude that he had no intention of offending anyone. It was an observation for which he shouldn't have suffered.

[adioo890]

One nation under GOD. they mock the lord, the lord split them up. .

[Anderasio]

@adioo890

"under god" wasn't in the original version.

Also, the whole thing was created by a dirty commie in order to make people loyal to the state.

[adioo890]

@Anderasio oh.

[PUNISHERWarzone87]

@Asleepymystikal your right God created wars. Remember the Crusades?

[nightcrawler511]

to the kids it felt like the beatles were everything they were their idols and they worshipped them, i can see john's innosence when he says the beatles are bigger than Jesus Christ, he meant it in a way that kids would rather go to a beatles concert than to church and at that time the churches were emtpy. religion was sort of fading? im not sure i wasnt around at that time but john didnt mean to get people all upset. their are no sides in this because he didn't say anything wrong in my opnion

[ChocolateHoneycomb]

Stupid god-fearing Americans, trashing and burning their albums... just not cool guys, not cool :(

[pijef]

@ChocolateHoneycomb

Get the fuck out of the american youtube, the american internet, and the american computer. Were the ones who made the Beatles who they are. If the Beatles never moved to america, know one would have ever recognized them as much as they did. I would also like you to explain why all of the Beatles are living, or died in the US?

[ThroughRock]

@pijef I am an American and even I think that my country has too many religious assholes in it.

You sound like a troll btw

[blakesquakers]

@pijef If you're saying that.. then stop using nearly EVERYTHING you use on a daily basis.. as most things weren't invented by Americans. You know what the Americans invented? The 2007 Global economic crisis.. and they are still continuing to slow economic growth for the rest of the world.

The Beatles were born and bred in the UK and the two surviving members both reside in the UK with multiple houses there but also have residences in America.

[iLoveYoutuveVideos]

Jesus > Beatles

[stevenl2011]

jesus created wars and said to believe in love and peace

john the tried to stop wars and created peace and love

[nightcrawler511]

@stevenl2011 he didn't create wars man created war with greety and materials wants such a oil etc

[stevenl2011]

@nightcrawler511 what was is in the gaza strip for the last 2000 years ???

[Asleepymystikal]

@stevenl2011 Jesus dint create wars , people did,,,, warfare is a part of human nature u dick

[stevenl2011]

@Asleepymystikal all i am saying is religion cause more porblems then it fixes and it wont owe up to its biggest problem in the Vatican for what there members did to innocent children

[maxpowers518]

In 1966, (particulary older) Americans were generally more conservative than today's standards. If Lennon said this today, their concerts would've likely been protested by those pricks from Westboro.

[UOFKfan100]

@maxpowers518 too fucking true, fuck westboro, they were around town when my cousins husband was killed in afghanistan, if they were to protest his funeral i swear to god id have hired a hitman to do a driveby on them

[jayven009]

@newwarsovereign

well said.

[newwarsovereign]

Many are forced to be Christians, but I doubt are there anyone forced or intimidated to be a Beatles fan.

[FABIOANT0NIO]

God may have had one great son, but Liverpool had four better ones.

[AaronGr3ch]

@StephanDareus ohhhh boo fucking who so they said their bigger than jesus while others are burning bibles and saying satanic shit to sell music watch your tongue you homophobic pansy

[NHurford1]

How dare the americans ban the Beatles just cause they said something they didnt like dosent make them bad musicians!!!

[Smoshlover055]

John Lennon is and will forever be a role model.

[BJBenie]

The Beatles are bigger than Jesus, end of.

[Androsss4pkmn1996]

John Lennon was like a prophet, preaching peace and love torwards everyone (just like Jesus Christ and Bob Marley). He was killed by a fool, someone who claimed to know it was the right thing to do (same with Jesus Christ!). He had a belief in God, stating that 'If there is a God, we're all it', and felt that He was inside of us. 'How long shall they kill our Prophets, while we stand aside and look?' Instead of criticising God, Jesus, John, Marley, or anyone else, we should instead preach peace!

[rbc122]

I don't like when people compare John Lennon to Jesus. Yeah he sure was a great guy, but he's no John Lennon

[DeadJ0ker27]

@rbc122

lol this needs to be top comment.

[John91040]

@rbc122

lol

[fundieangel]

@rbc122 Well, Justin Bieber is more popular than John Lennon

Imagine - John Lenon..... 13 millions of views

Baby - Justin Bieber......... 654 millions of views

OWNED!! lol

[rbc122]

@fundieangel Were living in a pretty sad society when a 17 year old "pop-star" is getting more attention then a great like John Lennon...

[TheAlliedsoldier99]

@fundieangel If youtube had existed 45 years ago, the Beatles would have more views than Bieber, Gaga and Ke$ha combined.

@itsbridgetlogann Just because Religion is more controversial than music ? Doesn't mean anything .

Lol y'all are in love with these devil worshipers they had Crowley on there album cover The messed up part is that the Beatles Don't give a Fuck about u or know u

[beatleman98]

@TIP580 What are you trying to say? I don't recall Jesus being inducted in the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame, something The Beatles accomplished many years ago...

[JPPraterCO08]

Well, pretty much, the Beatles have advantage over jesus... they actually are documented to have existed.

[BlackjackFit]

@helga1232 great statement

[DARKMBX]

Now Jay-Z is more powerfull than Jesus.

[saulhudson420]

@DARKMBX lol, dude, Jay Z will NEVER compare to the Beatles.

[SuperIke53]

@DARKMBX dude, u shouldnt say that

[batistaker123]

Wow John Lennon was so humble I mean Jesus isn't THAT big LOL!

[DORproductions117]

I hope someday the Beatles do have more influence than the false god of christianity.

[Helga1232]

John Lennon said he was SORRY to the reporter. But the Christians did not forgive him. They persecuted him and the band. Jesus taught us to forgive. He that is without sin cast the first stone. If a man has erred and gets on national TV and say's "I am sorry I did not mean it that way." He should have been forgiven. Jesus would have!! But no, everyone had to destroy him and burn his records. John was so happy before this, joking and having fun. After 1966 he was sad!

Christians should forgive!!

[Reasonwillwin]

The beatles WERE bigger than that fairytale made up character Jesus, a.k.a the magical jewish zombie.

[NalgasRock]

They were and they're more popular and better and all way than jesus

[TheKenfig]

John was ruining himself with LSD by this time

[Reasonwillwin]

@TheKenfig Ruining himself with LSD? He was writing some of the best songs of all time during this period.

[TheKenfig]

@Reasonwillwin Yes, he was, but he wrote MOST of his best stuff BEFORE too much acid ; the more he took acid, the more vegatated he became comparatively, less productive, vibrant, more lazy and, as he said himself "more cracked"

[NalgasRock]

@DontTaseM3Bro your dad is wrong, in he has such a silly thoughts

[berfariabrazil]

@DontTaseM3Bro I understand your daddy’s thought in terms. This kind of statement may had influenced that weirdo man who shot Lennon. But we should not regard as a punishment from God. Let us remember that Martin Luther King, Baptist minister, died the same way.

[pokemario2008]

I prefer Beatles.

[yooanoozarrmay]

the beatles arent bigger or better than jesus, theyre just a lot better at interviews. no?

[thebeatles241]

pues yo pienso la pura verdad los beatles son la banda mas famosa de la historia y que si son mas populares que jesucristo, osea los beatles hicieron la mejor musica de todo el universo y son mi banda favorita, osea obvio son mas pupulares que jesucristo

as soon as u see lennon u feel something special

Truth is that too many paranoid bitches go histarical when they hear Satan, Jesus, God or/and anything in relation. People need to get over themselves. People are to sensitive about this shit. Wak
