To some that's akin to blasphemy
(I ain't one of them).

well, they did claim to be bigger than jesus
which is technically correct. if jesus existed, there was only one of him and four of them. put them together, they'd be approximately four times bigger than him.

But Jesus did exist, there can be no question over that.
Whether he was the Son of God is a different matter ;)
A lot of scholars believe that they were lots of different completely seperate acts attributed to one person. The fact that the Jesus story shares and takes from it lots from early Mithratic resurrection stories is not coincidence.

Yeah, the acts,
but the person that is known as Jesus has been proven to exist.

Before we begin the battle,
can I just state that I do not at any point doubt the importance of The Beatles in music. However, the majority of their importance is based on the social implications, not the musical innovation that they supposedly created. If you wanna gaz and have a chat with me about it, I would enjoy that. I love arguing about music :D
i agree that their importance is based primarily on the social advances they helped to propagate, but i don't see how that is a bad thing
also, i am probably not entirely capable of a sustained intelligent debate at this hour and in my current state of mind perhaps some other time though :D
i was brought up listening to the beatles, so my defence of them is probably mostly a knee-jerk reaction (fun fact: i took my username from 'i am the walrus')

I didn't mean it was a bad thing.
However, my main point is that they weren't anywhere near as innnovative as people made them out to be. Undoubtedly the biggest band of all time though, and I think the most important band of all time. However, I myself, like Smash, am not a massive fan.
to musical history, but that doesn't make me like them any more. it's like football, as soon as people realise that i'm a scouser, they immediately assume that i love football and the beatles.

Yes but football isn't really important or relevent to any development of the social structure or culture of mankind.

the beatles have nothing to do with football
unless you mean that you don't like them purely because people expect you to like them

i'm simply saying that
i don't like either of them and it annoys me that, due to ridiculous stereotyping, there will always be people dumbfounded by the fact that a scouser would dislike both these things. i'd dislike them anyway.

i don't agree with what you say, but i am prepared to defend your right to say it :D
