Rebellion

The Beatles rebellion against the God of the Bible goes way back for most of them! One example is the fact that John Lennon was taken to Sunday School by his Aunt Mimi. He even sang in the choir. But, by age 11, John was barred from Sunday services in his aunt’s Anglican church because he “repeatedly improvised obscene and impious lyrics to the hymns.” (Rock Lives; p. 114). In 1964 Paul McCartney stated, “We probably seem to be anti-religious… none of us believes in God. “Does the Bible say anything about those who do not believe in God? YES! It says they are fools (Psa 14:1). “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.” That description pretty well describes the character and accomplishments of the Beatles. (Saturday Evening Post, August 8-15, 1964, p. 25).
