Dear oh Lord

"I love Jesus, an amazing person with a very important message. It's too bad so many "Christians" ignore what he preaches.

You know, the stuff about turning the other cheek, loving one another, and camels going through the eyes of needles. "

And who knew that Jesus was American?
And blue eyed?
And kinda blonde?

That's the kind of retouching Cybil Shepherd prays for.
The kind of makeover the Oprah Audience would scarifice a larynx for

Taking a 2000 year old Jewish Arab and somehow turning him into a cross between Farrah Fawcett and the bass player of the Beach Boys circa 1965 seems to me to be just a little close to Blasphemy.

How did the blog get here? Because I'm wearing a "What Would Batman Do?" T-shirt to work today in a bid to cancel out one of the "What would Jesus Do?" bangles that proliferate - strained around the bloated wrists of women who seem to think that Jesus would try to pillage the buffet table, sipping on high fructose corn syrup filled buckets whilst bemoaning the cost of gas and mourning the fact that you have to move in order to find food.

Feisty day today - bring 'em on.
