Christianity will go. It will go. It will vanish and shrink. We are more popular than Jesus now. I don't know which will go first - rock and roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary.- John Lennon
Back in the "good old days" when Americans would riot like Muslims without killing people and burning down their homes or destroying their places of worship that quote sparked an outrage. It did however highlight a growing disconnect that entertainers have with our country. Their imagined importance and exaggerated sense of self is so common these days that I can barely tolerate listening to any interviews or watch any award ceremonies without feeling ill. Yes, I am a curmudgeon.
However, John Lennon was correct about the disciples of Jesus being thick and ordinary. It is one of the best things about our faith. Jesus is the Lord of all, no elitism should exist among His disciples.
