Sir Paul McCartney — the knighted boy from Liverpool, musician, artist, icon, animal-rights and anti-poverty activist, and now a children’s book author — is a bit of a philosopher as well:
I believe in the spirit of goodness, so I can sympathize with Christians, Jewish people, Buddhists, Muslims. I think essentially they’re all trying to say the same thing: You ought to choose between good and bad…I don’t subscribe to any one religion, but I do feel a oneness with a spirit of goodness. But I don’t know if there’s an old man with a beard in the sky.
