Anything Beatles
This is a Thursday, Sept. 25, 2008. file photo of former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney as he waves during a concert in Tel Aviv, Israel. McCartney says it's time an experimental Beatles track saw the light of day. McCartney says he wants to release "Carnival of Light," a 14-minute experimental track the Fab Four recorded in 1967 but never released. The band played the recording for an audience just once, at an electronic music festival in London. It reportedly includes distorted guitar, organ sounds, gargling and shouts of "Barcelona!" and "Are you all right?" from McCartney and John Lennon. (AP Photo/Bernat Armangue)

John Lennon was amazed at the craziness that accompanied the Beatles tour....his comment was an unfortunate expression of his astonishment and confusion. He was aghast that his words affected so many in so many different ways. This confusion and its aftermath followed him until his death.

I feel so much better now that the ugly guy in the Vatican that wears a dress and a beenie has finally forgiven John Lennon. I hope with all my heart, that someday, decades after my death, some weirdo in designer Italian shoes will forgive at least one of my alleged sins.

Well now, think about it. We live in a world where child molesters, wife beaters, murders, rapist, liars, adulters, drug and alcohol abusers, money greed, and mean spirted envious people, exist in large numbers. Jesus isn't all that popular.. he wasn't all that popular when he was strung up on the cross to die a horrific death for us. He wasn't popular when he rose up to Heaven.... certainly not his teachings of love, kindness and patience. I believe in my whole heart, he will be popular when God decides Jesus will come back and live on earth with us.

Sad, one more attempt by the Roman Religion to attempt to be relevant. It gives a bad name to TRUE Christianity. Perhaps the Rat Singer, the Pied Poper should focus on the log in his OWN eye. From 1981 until his acceptance as the leader of the Roman Religion (of idols), Rat singer held the office of "Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith " (formerly known historically as the Holy Office of the Inquisition). One of the responsibilities of this office is to "promote and safeguard the doctrine on the faith and morals." Where was Ratsinger at when all the pedophilia within the Roman religion was openly being hidden? Or when the scandal became public, where was the "righteous indignation" of Ratsinger? His "apology" for the sins of "others" while on his tour for fame in the US was WOEfully inadequate as to his OWN guilt. Woe Matt 23) to the Roman Religion and those that blindfully follow the tune of the Pied Poper in a misplaced attempt to know Christ, the only way to th...
