    So, I was browsing the google, because my father and I were looking at old rock bands andstuff, talking about how popular English rock bands seemed to all be hideous looking. Anyway, we got to the Beatles, and we found a site that had a bunch of pictures of the band throughout their career, and looked at those while scrolling past all the text. At one point, I noticed the words "god-hating degenerate", so I started to read. I ended up going back the beginning and my dad and I laughed and read our way through it for a while. It's basically a site about how Jesus is great and rock music is evil, and I honestly can't tell if it's serious or trolling.

    So, I thought yuo guys might want to take a gander and have a laugh :The site in question.

    Haha I thought that attitude died in the 60's shortly after John's "bigger than Jesus" statement.

    That "Bigger than Jesus" statement was cropped up and exploited. He didn't actually say that. He said that they were more popular than Jesus with kids/youth... Which at the time was true.

    Watch the video of the response to the response to the context misuse.

    Yeah I'm aware of that. But the misquote was "Bigger than Jesus" and it stuck and it's the controversy I was referring to, not the quote itself.
    The exact quote was "Christianity will go.. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first — rock and roll or Christianity."

    My point was that the media cropped up the audio and exploited the statement to make it appear as a concrete statement as opposed to him relaying something he had heard through demographic studies. It was an addition of information, if anything, not a contradiction to your statement.
