Jesus, man. It might be four against one, but remember J can walk on water, and the Beatles can't. Not only that, but Jesus will rise again. Years after all the Beatles are dead, Jesus will rise like a phoenix from the ashes, flipping them the bird and dancing all over the place. "Owned!" He'll say. "Owned by teh S.O.G!"

I dunno... it's been a while since the beatles hit the charts.
But then again, Jesus hasn't done squat since he rocked 'em on the Jerusalem top-XXX with his Sermon on the Mount extenda-mix..
:D

Sure Jesus can walk on water, but ever see George in Yellow Submarine? The guy don't fall, he floats down, man.
"It's all in the mind, you know."
Preach it brother!
Hmmmm.......Jesus never inspired Charles Manson as much as the Beatles.....but then again, his life did lead to the creation of the catholic church, which had millions killed.....That's why I love the Catholic Church. That and the free wine. But mostly the killing.
im more pupoluar than jesus
Did the Beatles ever tip over a huge table full of coins in a crowded marketplace, start a riot and not get arrested? I think not!
Of course, the Beatles did have hoards of horny young women.....but they never said Jesus didn't have that either.
And as for you being more popular than Jesus, well the Beatles are more popular than Jesus, and I'm more popular than the Beatles, and so I win.

You fail to take into account that Ringo is a cyborg and Paul has an army of clones.
Beatles all the way man. Jesus is cool, but ....whoa.
John Lennon is my god.

This is a clear reflection on how little society values religion in these days.

Well they started some riots, and some of them did get arrested, so two out of three ain't bad. Not to much opportunity for the tipping over of huge tables full of coins in crowded marketplaces when the Beatles were touring.
ya see i am not religious at all but Jesus was still really awesome...but The Beatles ...wow. Yeah. I The beatles are more popular than jesus in my mind.
This is a clear reflection on how little society values religion in these days.

Seeing as John Lennon is god.

EDIT: I've deleted what I said before.. its 4:30am andI'm not making any sense....
The Beatles should win.... but their action figures suck...
Unlike the Jesus Christ action figure (with walk on water action)!
http://www.jesus-action-figure.com/
Now if the Beatles did a range of this... then my mind would be made up...
Now Jesus vs Moses... now theres something worth a vote!
(The answer is Moses... why walk on water, when you can just move it aside? Just after terrorising and killing the first borns of an entire country?)

The beatles took drugs. Jesus invented drugs. Therefore, Jesus is more hardcore and will win.
However, in a brawl between John Lennon and Jesus, I think even they would get confused as to which ones they were.
Also John Lennon has yet to come back from the dead, except in the form of a posthumous box-set or two.
Anyhoo, The statistics:

A close, drawn out match, but Jesus just pips the Beatles thanks to superior godlike powers and funny films.
These figures are adjustable. Add them to your own posts to make them more funny.

Can you please explain to us why society should value religion? Believing in god is one thing, supporting religion is quite another don't you think?
Do you know some thing the rest of us don't?

Society should value religion because some people value religion. Society should be a reflection of the people, and the seperation of church and state stop it swinging too far the other way. I may not value modern art, but some people do, so society reflects that.

If Jesus is the most popular, then the band Ministry gets an instant bonus, since Jesus built their hotrod.

If Jesus resorts to 'leet', I'm going to start backing Satan.

I think "Imagine" provides more useful insight than the Bible. Beatles win easily.
