John Lennon - God

John Lennon wurde entschuldet, so heißt es, und alle plappern die Papstbulle nach, als sei der 1980 ermordete Grandfather des Rock nicht nur nicht tot, sondern quicklebendig vom ungläubigen Liverpooler Dockjungen zum Katholizismus konvertiert.

1970 hatte er allerdings folgende Auffassung zum Thema Gott.

God is a concept,
By which we can measure,
Our pain,
I'll say it again,
God is a concept,
By which we can measure,
Our pain,
I don't believe in magic,
I don't believe in I-ching,
I don't believe in bible,
I don't believe in tarot,
I don't believe in Hitler,
I don't believe in Jesus,
I don't believe in Kennedy,
I don't believe in Buddha,
I don't believe in mantra,
I don't believe in Gita,
I don't believe in yoga,
I don't believe in kings,
I don't believe in Elvis,
I don't believe in Zimmerman,
I don't believe in Beatles,
I just believe in me,
Yoko and me,
And that's reality.
The dream is over,
What can I say?
The dream is over,
Yesterday,
I was dreamweaver,
But now I'm reborn,
I was the walrus,
But now I'm John,
And so dear friends,
You just have to carry on,
The dream is over.

Will heißen, entweder wir alle sind Gott oder niemand.
