Jesus Christ: Do you REALLY know him?

Wednesday October 15, 2008

Seriously. His entire track record is hearsay. The four accounts we have of his life contradict each other and they're probably not historically reliable. Besides, he was born in Palestine, for crying out loud. You all have to ask these hard questions. The MSM won't. Maybe McCain will at tonight's debate. But this ad is a good start: Who IS the real Jesus?

Now that you bring it up, this Palestinian didn't even leave us an autobiography.

It is fortunate that we know, beyond any reasonable doubt, that that northerner (Jesus) was set up by those religious southerners (the chief religious leaders of the people of YHWH) to be executed as a self-confessed political trouble maker.

In view of that damning evidence what credence can we put in his close associates who claimed that he was a really good man who deeply cared for and helped the poor, the homeless, the aliens, the sick and the dying.

He needs to be vetted by some genuinely impartial investigators.

One more reason not to listen to the hate mongers of the Religious Right and the GOP PAC dogs.
