Who was Jesus?
In the course of just looking around, probably because I have religion on the brain at the moment, I noticed an interesting devotional blog by a thoughtful Catholic writer. Let it be said I an so NOT feeling her piece on obedience, but that's fine: one more slot in Heaven for a more deserving soul, I guess. However:
Three proofs Jesus was Irish: He never got married; He was always telling stories; he had 12 drinking buddies.
Three proofs Jesus was Jewish: He went into his father's business; He lived at home till he was 33; His mother thought he was perfect.
Three proofs Jesus was Puerto Rican: His first name was Jesus; He was bilingual; He was always being harassed by the authorities.
Three proofs Jesus was Italian: He talked with his hands; He had wine at every meal; He worked in the building trade.
Three proofs Jesus was black: He called everybody brother; He liked the Gospel; He couldn't get a fair trial.
Three proofs Jesus was a Californian: He never cut his hair; He walked around barefoot; He started a new religion.
Three proofs Jesus was a woman: He had to feed a crowd at a moment's notice when there was no food; He kept trying to get the message across to a bunch of men who just didn't get it; Even when he was dead, he had to get up because there was more work to do.
