Here is a Beatles poll

[beatlekorey]

with all the Beatles rock band news I thought it would be fun to see if John Lennon was right .

[RockBandRocker]

Let's see, I've read more about The Beatles today than I've ever read about Jesus.

Therefore, The Beatles > Jesus

[solidsnakejt]

lol at results

[Rockbandfan23467]

Well, the Beatles must be about 21 ft. combined, and people were a lot shorter 2000 years ago, so The Beatles are bigger. But it's kind of unfair, 4 vs. 1 and all. :D

[beatlekorey]

lol

[harveyglobetrot]

Weight-wise as well. While Jesus could pull manna from heaven on a whim, even he couldn't out weigh the four Beatles combined. Performing miracles and part-time carpentry is the best weight-loss program known to man. :D

[beatlekorey]

cool a vote for our heavenly father

[Skode]

Did Jesus have over 20 number one hit singles...nope so there is only gonna be one winner as far as im concerned :cool:

[beatlekorey]

but to be fair I am told Jesus had a beautiful singing voice
:D

[beatlekorey]

just didn't have the distribution abilities.

[Elmer's Glue]

Sure he did. The man had 12 publicists!

[beatlekorey]

True , but unfortunately getting stoned didn't do as much for them as it did the Beatles

[Elmer's Glue]

Haa!

[Snake5k6]

Chuck Norris

[Satoshi]

Let's see, I've read more about The Beatles today than I've ever read about Jesus.

Therefore, The Beatles > Jesus

This.

^And This.

/thread:cool:

[Skode]

Neither of which had much harmony - i guess christian rock didnt have the same fanbase as it has now...maybe if Simon Cowell were there :confused:

[beatlekorey]

very true , and I am sure the acoustics from the mount were terrible .

[beatlekorey]

[Sportzter]

Well it seems that the Beatles are edging out the Great JC.

I guess we really do live in a "What have you done for me lately" world! :D

[Skode]

Never - Jesus was a fad, the Beatles are for life haha.

In all seriousness on most forums this would have been shot down as a thread for blasphemy but its great to see everyone has a good sense of humour around here :D

[beatlekorey]

yes it is

[masterantonio]

2000 years from now will anyone know who the beatles were.

[whypick1]

Everyone knows the correct answer is The Be Sharps.

[statboyinva]

Jesus is popular in only one major religion and acknowleged by two others, while The Beatles were a global phenomenon that transcended religious lines.

[QB8Young]

Wow... are you serious? Jesus!

[General Lein979]

At the main draw of Beatlemania bealtes. Now jesus.

[k-mac]

i don't think Jesus had throngs of girls chasing him down the streets wherever he went, so i'm going to have to say The Beatles win.

[cdylan13]

lol This poll is easy.

Beatles.

[Evilbottom]

The Beatles actually existed.

[Rockbandfan23467]

i don't think Jesus had throngs of girls chasing him down the streets wherever he went, so i'm going to have to say The Beatles win.

Well, I'm sure he did at some points, but not as often as The Beatles did.

[AccaDacca]

considering the beatles don't give u eternal salvation and didn't die on a cross for your sins, I'd have to say Jesus Christ!

[whofan]

I still find it funny that after years and years and years John Lennon is still being quoted out of context on that one.

[Meatmuppet]

Well since I am an Atheist, I have no idea what to pick.
:P

[GloiGloi]

I don't think I'd be buying a copy of Rockband:Jesus - even with special harp peripherals

[Rockbandfan23467]

I still find it funny that after years and years and years John Lennon is still being quoted out of context on that one.

Yeah, he was being sarcastic.

[FTM311]

Jesus is making a comeback; a Resurrection if you will.

[BevoTheWarrior]

The Beatles are bigger. That's a scientific fact. :D

[AccaDacca]

Yeah, he was being sarcastic.

lol nice avatar. Poor angus!

[whofan]

Yeah, he was being sarcastic.
Actually he kinda was and kinda wasn't.

He was saying it as demonstrative of the decline of religion in the 1960's. Of course, the press being who they are, completely ripped the small section out of the interview and ran with it.

[ArmsAreLoud]

Well, Jesus is in the public domain, so people can ruin him all they want without the poor man seeing a dime.


I don't think I'd be buying a copy of Rockband:Jesus - even with special harp peripherals
Put Jesus Christ Pose on it and I'm sold.

[Knucklesdude]

Okay one doesn't exist and the other half exists.

The Beatles it is!

[CHK10063764]

*high five*

[oRabbit]

Jesus is popular in only one major religion and acknowleged by two others, while The Beatles were a global phenomenon that transcended religious lines.

This is exactly what John meant by the quote that's been taken out of context. At the time the quote was made, John was quite deep into his religious studies. Merely stating that Christianity could seize to exist, but music would still continue to pass through the ages.

Taking that into consideration, I voted for My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ....Superstar.

[Rockbandfan23467]

57-79 in Beatles Favor.

[zepplinmike]

Okay one doesn't exist and the other half exists.

The Beatles it is!

Whether or not you believe in him in a religious way, it's pretty much been established by factual evidence that Jesus existed.

[Rockbandfan23467]

QFT, and let's leave it at that B 4 Lock.

Well, I never had to do a research paper on The Beatles. There's no statue of either of them in Arkansas anywhere, and I'm pretty sure that people from Spain don't cut your feet off if you don't like the Beatles, so Jesus.

[noobert]

probably everyone on the planet has heard of both of the poll choices...ill still pick the beatles!

[leob5622]

I'm not going to even dignify that with anything more than this response.

[Rockbandfan23467]

Me or noobert?

[Meatmuppet]

Please, PLEASE do not start a religious war. There is no factual evidence that Jesus existed, and let's leave it at that.

[Daytrip]

The Beatles where photographed more than Jesus Christ.....

So the Beatles.

[Rockbandfan23467]

60-87.

[Lone Bulldogs]

Seems like ol' JC is a common person to pick on around here especially with folks requesting Chritian Music. It doesn't help that the Christian Music I heard sucks.

I think it would be a lot funnier to through ol' Mohammad up on a poll, or are you worried about repercussions from that?

[timmay9]

I went with the Beatles. Looks like a lot of other people did too.

[Rockbandfan23467]

since the Beatles are real. I will vote for the Beatles.

[bpickell]

IDK Jesus still has people singing his songs in every church throughout the world 2000 years later. The beetles have a following of what a couple thousand people here and there. And I never hear any of their music on the radio. So Jesus ftw.

[woodwindpizza]

Beatles (I'm going to hell for this) :D

[jncsell]

The Beatles are bigger than Jesus, but My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult will always be Kooler Than Jesus.

[oRabbit]

It appears that you don't know what this poll is actually referencing.

[Meatmuppet]

.

Read my posts.

[NormanCoxwell]

I'll go with Jesus Christ. I mean I doubt there'd be this much complaining if rock band decided to come out with a Jesus Christ and the Apostles rock band game. I mean they pretty much kicked ass.

Also I fear for my immoratal soul if I would've picked The Beatles. I mean I'm still planning to sell my soul to the devil for amazing drum skills but for now I'll hold back.

[Lawl01]

Lol at how many people voted for Jebus.

[bonethug0108]

JeWho?

[noobert]

im sure jesus loves the beatles too!

[XinZ]

Did Jesus have over 20 number one hit singles...nope so there is only gonna be one winner as far as im concerned :cool:

Yeah try 666 ... or was that the other guy?

[masterantonio]

It really amazes me that the beatles are winning. I'm not really religious at all, but it's impossible to compare one of, if not the most influential people in all of history, to what is essentially a boy band. Have any of you ever been to a foreign country, a church or even an art museum. I was just in Rome not to long ago and visited countless churches, The Vatican. There is some really impressive stuff made in his name. There are 2.1 billion Christians in the world, and the beatles best selling album, Sgt. Pepper's sold 32 million In total which is less than what the Backstreet Boys Millennium sold at 40 million.

[Meatmuppet]

Realism beats Religion

[chumsicles]

Pity vote for Jesus

[masterantonio]

How many churches devoted to the beatles do you have in your town or city?

Give it time. People will be singing the songs of The Beatles until the end of time.

[masterantonio]

wow beatles are big where you live.

[oRabbit]

Man, I'm jealous...and here, we just have the one devoted to The Fonz.

[Rockbandfan23467]

He's probably joking.

[BevoTheWarrior]

He's probably joking.

I love that you said "probably". :D

[meanmtrmustard27]

Looks like John was right. Genius!

[Rockbandfan23467]

Why is this thread not locked?

[Jordashebasics]

How does Star Wars fit into the equation?

[MythicAXL]

The Beatles were the second coming of Jesus, and they made a bigger impression.

[General Lein979]

Why is this thread not locked?It's going off the quote that lennon said:
We’re more popular than Jesus now — I don’t know which will go first, rock ’n’ roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It’s them twisting it that ruins it for me The pope got pissed at him. Bible belt stopped playing beatles on the radio, churchs started hating the beatles calling them anti religious, etc. Lennon apologized to what he said was a joke and the pope finally forgave him last Nov.

[Meatmuppet]

No I am serious there are 13 Beatles Churches in my town.
The chicken fingers are reeeeeeeally good

[Rockbandfan23467]

No I am serious there are 13 Beatles Churches in my town.
The chicken fingers are reeeeeeeally good

You mean The Beatles own 13 Church's Chicken in your hometown?

[Ferocious Q]

hmm... Chuck Norris can beat both, but The Beatles could be jesus in a RAWK OFF

[General Lein979]

hmm... Chuck Norris can beat both, but The Beatles could be jesus in a RAWK OFFI dunno jesus empowered johnny to take down the devil. And as we know the devil loves metal as learned from tenacious d and can play really good. He would also have his backing band the disciples and we all know anyone with a beard (amused they has one) plays great like zz top. With this logic jesus could put up a tough chalange.

[jncsell]

Americans identifying themselves as "Christian" have declined 12% (http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/christians_1.png) since 1969...yet the Beatles are alive and kicking in the rhythm game genre.

[toMsons1987]

Beatles easy, how can you argue someone who doesn't exist is popular?

[jncsell]

Devil's advocate...Santa Claus is pretty popular.

Not that he'd get his own rhythm game.

[alimo33]

and prophet John Lennon said to thy "all you need is love" lol

[jncsell]

Jesus promoted theft (Mark 11:1-3, Matthew 8:28-34), self-mutilation (Matthew 18:7-9), being a dick (Mark 11:15-16), killing trees out of spite for not having fruit (Mark 11:12-14), disowning your family (Luke 14:26), and constantly changing the rules for getting into heaven (Luke 10:25-28, Luke 18:18-22, John 6:53-58, Matthew 18:2-3, John 3:3-8, Matthew 5:17-20, John 3:16) (Source:http://godisimaginary.com/i39.htm).

The Beatles said "All you need is love" and it was good.

[beatlekorey]

Only a few more days left to vote

[beatlekorey]

All right looks like The Beatles are still more popular then a man made God. So that makes the tally reality 1 religion 0

[Mex]

I just don't know how to say anything nice to your comment. If you were a true Beatles fan, you would know that the comment John Lennon made was taken out of context by the press, and not meant to be a slight against any religion.

You on the other hand, just seem to by trying to slight any and all religions. Well, gotta news flash for you...most people on this planet believe in some type of religion/god/higher power. So I guess that makes it Religion: Win, You: Fail.

[Skode]

Come now people, some are taking this far too serious. Religion has NO place on these forums unless in proper context and even then people over react (aetheists were livid at Spirit in the Sky being on Rock Band 2 for goodness sake :eek:)

Weve had enough wars over religion as it is without a forum war on it ;)

[Eric4372]

What kind of poll is this? Seriously.
