> Didn't he say he once thought he was God or something, like John Lennon?

Soros apparently thinks he's God. But all John Lennon did was remark that the Beatles had become more popular than Jesus (in England at the time, it was probably accurate). His off-hand comment was twisted and mis-reported, and people over-reacted like crazy.

He commented on that later, saying:

"I suppose if I had said television was more popular than Jesus, I would have got away with it... I just said [the Beatles] are having more influence on kids and things than anything else, including Jesus... I wasn't knocking it or putting it down. I was just saying it as a fact, and it's true more for England than here. I'm not saying that we're better or greater, or comparing us with Jesus Christ as a person or God as a thing, or whatever it is...

"I'm sorry I said it really. I never meant it to be a lousy anti-religious thing. I apologise if that will make you happy. I still don't know quite what I've done. I've tried to tell you what I did do, but if you want me to apologise, if that will make you happy, then OK, I'm sorry."

Most Christian organizations accepted his explanation and apology, though a few did not. Anyway, whatever else Lennon did that you might not like, he didn't say or think that he was God. Just for the record, you understand.

Soros, on the other hand, DOES think he's God, and is not likely to apologize for anything.

To: dayglored
but when you read or listen to Lennon's commentary on the song "Strawberry Fields," he mentions wondering about being God.

Anyway, as an act, far and away, it's the Beatles over Soros.
