The Beatles have garnered much attention recently since Paul McCartney's divorce settlement this week and the use of the Beatles' songbook on the highly watched American Idol show. No one will argue the point that the Beatles were one of the most successful and critically acclaimed bands in the history of popular music. But imagine the pomposity of John Lennon to make a statement like this!
""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." -John Lennon, March 4, 1966
This kind of grandiosity is characteristic of the pop culture icons our society worships. Here are few more prideful prompts from other pretentious preeners.
"In this world, I call the shots and I think I know best." - Mariah Carey
"I've outdone anyone you can name -- Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500." -James Brown
"I am the most well-known homosexual in the world."- Elton John
"I won't be happy until I'm as famous as God." - Madonna
Psalm 10:4 says, The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek [after God]: God [is] not in all his thoughts." All the star power of our pop culture princes and princesses combined is more the glow of a birthday cake candle in comparison to the Bright and Morning Star, Jesus. He forever remains the only true Superstar!
