40828, The Temple of Beatlism
Posted by murph25, Sat Apr-09-05 01:54 AM
I started this site some years back with a friend of mine, following a sleep-deprived conversation amid a marathon session of listening to Beatles music. I used to operate the site myself, but have since passed the torch to someone with a better eye for design. The premise was to create a satirical philosophy and religion that used the popular mythology of the Beatles as its defining principle. This took shape in the form of the notion of "Inner Beatles", where each member of the band personifies some aspect of our own mental or spiritual being. Its all quite absurd and more-or-less facetious. But, you can check it out here:

The response I've gotten from visitors to the site has ranged from "God, you're strange!" to "Finally, a kindred spirit!". Only about half those who commented seemed to understand that the "Temple of Beatlism" was in fact intended as a farce. While you can certainly argue that the site may be a waste of my time and effort, it IS undeniably unique...
