Extra Jesus Dot Com

Here’s an interesting article on the business practices of Jesus. The author notes that while Jesus only had three years to build his brand (Jesus began preaching at the age of 30 and was crucified at 33) he has built an impressive community of followers. Think about it…three years of work, a little dying on a cross, fast forward two thousand years and note the millions (billions?) of his followers.

Well now, this is interesting. Looks like archaeologists are excavating what very well may be the area where Jesus turned water into wine. It’s hard to believe that after all these years there are actually some urns intact. The lead archaeologist notes that while there’s no scientific basis in the miracles it is nice to be able to provide a backdrop to the narrative of the Bible. Read more at the World Peace Herald.

Some dude, well, the son of Billy Graham actually, compared the sacrfices of today’s military to that of Jesus. Hmm. Ah. Uh. I have no idea what to say. Uh…first of all, the military KILLS PEOPLE. Something that Jesus would never do. Secondly, there are THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS and Jesus was one guy. I’m not really sure where Frank was going with his message but I wish I’d been there to get a little more clarification.

Don’t know why this never occurred to me. Funny and safe for the kids, that’s what I like. I’d like to see a coffeetable sort of book devoted to funny Jesus situations such as this one, has anyone ever done one of these? You could have Jesus go hunting with the VP, maybe put Jesus in a cannabis club…I wish I were more artistically-inclined in the drawing and painting arts, I’d love to do my own Jesus comic…

Is Jesus your uncle? This article says most likely not. I’ve often wondered about things like this. If I am to believe the Bible that everything started with Adam and Eve then aren’t we all related when it comes right down to it? Seems to me that if there were only two people responsible for the billions of people we now have then there must have been a lot of incest in the early days. I’m no math wiz or geneticist but that’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it. The Mormons believe that Jesus is our brother and that we knew him in Heaven before we were here on Earth. What are your thoughts about this?

Today is Good Friday, the day of the year that some people celebrate the crucifixion of Jesus the Christ. I’m not sure if that’s an official Federal holiday (I’m guessing that it’s not and since everyone has Google I don’t feel the need to look it up) but it’s a holiday for some just the same. Have a great Good Friday! You can read more about Good Friday at this Wikipedia article.

Have you been dyin’ to see the crucifixtion in person? Does walking around Golgotha turn you on? Thanks to a theme park in Buenos Aires you can now do these things and more. The birth of Jesus must be something to behold…
