…Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I don't know what will go first, rock 'n' roll or Christianity. We're more popular than Jesus now. Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.

John Lennon
About This Quote

Apropos this quote, I think that the best way to honor the memory of Jesus Christ in our modern society is to let him fade away. Let his teachings be intellectualized, fragmented into parts, and then forgotten. For people to lose their faith in Christianity will be an achievement of enormous proportions. It will be a victory for rationality and logic over emotion and superstition. It will be a blow against blind faith and willful ignorance.
