Smithsonian Christmas-Season Exhibit Features Ant-Covered Jesus
Hmmm… and curiously there is no mass rioting and death threats coming from Christians.
This, in contrast to that religion of peace. You know, the one that issues death threats to those who even dare to draw a picture of their prophet.

The Jesus Christ Show
Recently… I had a real sickening, but surreal encounter.
I was recently scheduled for jury duty, but the evening before, a last Sunday night, I was summoned to work by my employer at 9:30 PM. Being on call, unless I can find someone to take the job, I do have to go. Unsuccessful in that, I prepared myself for the one hour drive, letting my customer know my predicament.
As I got in the van and started it up, I turned up the radio. It is my custom to listen to talk radio, and it is usually tuned to WIOD. What I heard… well… it made me want to vomit!
The show that was playing was your standard host with the ability for listeners to call in. Well the fist call-in I heard, the caller called the host Jesus. After listening for a few minutes to see if the host would correct the guy, I was disappointed, yet not unexpected.
The show was called The Jesus Christ Show. The host calls himself the “holy host,” yet plays the part as if he was Jesus. He talks bible verses in FIRST PERSON. Yet, will have to ask callers the names of their spouses. That makes me wonder…
Anyway, I continued to listen with discernment for my hour drive… He gives somewhat sound counsel from the bible, albeit in first person, as if it were his idea. He speaks of his “own” death on the cross, flippantly.
After wrapping up my task, and heading home, I was able to catch the last half-hour of the show. People called in actually thinking this guy was the real Jesus! He counseled them and encouraged them. I mean, I could not figure out if this was comedy or what, I thought I had entered some kind of time warp… yeah I was almost playing that song in my head!
But, I could knew what I was hearing, by the witness of the Holy Spirit… it was BLASPHEMY!
On arriving at home, I immediately checked out the website, including the advertisement for the “comedy show,” this “Jesus” hawked in the tradition of the radio hosts need to pay bills. (As if his father did not own the cattle on 1,000 hills!)
But sadly, looking at the FAQ section on the website, you’ll find…
Q: Does the “Holy Host” really think he is Jesus?
A: No, the show is interactive radio theater designed to teach people more about themselves and the historical person of Jesus Christ.
Is it just me, or is it wrong for someone to obfuscate, lure or otherwise trick someone to get them to listen to the truth of the gospel?
Or worse, steal glory from the Holy One?
