Now, with all the religious people here out to get me........ (oo, chase me, chase me!), I'd say if Jesus did return, it would be as an African lesbian, whom the religious would denounce, just as they denounced him as a carpenter from the backwoods the last time. And therein lies his power to confound them.

I'm not Christian, but I'm pretty sure that if Jesus did return, many of us who have chosen a spiritual path and pursued it, will be far more welcoming of him, than most of the religious zealots who shout the loudest in our world today.

True enough - although someone who spends 40 days and nights on a total fast in the desert could be described as ascetic I'd have thought, and many people who do that sort of thing dont generally return to society and indulge themselves overmuch.

In any case, it was meant to be contentious and a little humorous. It clearly succeeded in the first place, but failed miserably in the second.

He makes a remarkable claim: that he is the second coming of Jesus Christ.
 
Perhaps  equally remarkable, the number of people who believe him.
 
Now this man could be your neighbor and who says he’s Christ, has moved to Houston.
 
When members of Creciendo en Gracia had a worldwide meeting in Miami this weekend it had a Latin beat.
And when Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda entered the room with a security detail clearing his way, it could have been a rock star or a politician.  His style is a bit of both.
 
“I am the second coming of Christ, that messiah that they’ve been waiting for,” said Dr. Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda.

"What part of ‘thou shalt not kill,’ don’t you understand," he begins. He denounces the death penalty bringing cheers from the Left while the Right calls him soft on crime. Then he denounces abortion, which pleases the Right but the Left screams that he is against women’s reproductive freedom. "Assisted suicide is wrong," says Jesus. The Right hollers, "hallelujah " while the Left becomes even more dejected. "War must end," continues Jesus. The Left cheers again while the Right calls him un-patriotic.

Next Jesus starts talking about sexual issues. It isn’t long before the Left and the Right, for the first time in history, set aside all their differences to unite in a common enterprise – running Jesus out of town.

A teenage boy who recently turned 16 was wanting a car to get around in.  He was trying anything to get his dad to get him a new car.  His dad was adamant about his son cutting off his long hair and then they could discuss him getting a used car.  He tried telling his dad, “Hey Dad, long hair is in style!”  But got nowhere.  In a revelation he tried and argument his dad could not turn down.  “But Dad, JESUS had long hair!”  And his dad said, “Yes son, that’s true…  And Jesus also walked everywhere he went.”

.........so my bet is he will turn up working for Amnesty International in a place called Essex in Britain  : ) 

............Tony Blair will wash his hands in public while his wife fights for Jesus's human rights and Bush demands that J is sent to the tower of  simply be placed on a plane to Gitmo for daring to suggest that those that live by the sword shall die by the sword or a fat Bush will not fit through the eye of a needle..........................LOL.

Status: offline 		I think Christ is waiting on his Visa. Perhaps that's what is taking him so long to get here. I've only been hearing that it's time for him to come now since the day I was born.

Why is it that we have so many who can't wait for the end of the world? So many push for Jyhad and Armagedon and are ready to start before God gives the signal.
