It's a great name, isn't it?

You know how bible beaters walk around foaming at the mouth with the thought that Jesus, whom they all verbally fellate while simultaneously ignoring all of his teachings, is at any minute going to return to earth for the final judgment of humanity?

What if it already happened? According to the oft-quoted but seldom read Christian instruction manual known as the bible, Jesus came (the first time) to help a marginalized people. Well guess what - you guys aren't marginalized anymore. The Catholic Church is the wealthiest landowner in the world. You influence foreign and domestic policy. What if Jesus came to a marginalized group the second time too, and you guys didn't even get a post card?

Besides, our society has become a bit more skeptical (if equally retarded) since the year 0. Nowadays, if some guy walked into a church claiming to be the messiah, babbling about the judgment of humanity, he would be popping pills in the Bellevue psychiatric ward in a matter of hours. Chew on that for a minute; Jesus may have already come again and someone thought he was crazy, so now the son of god is chilling with some guy who who gets transmissions from the CIA in his fillings and some woman who thinks she's 13 people watching Golden Girls in a padded room.

Last but not least, what if Jesus came in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, turned the water into wine, and was subsequently buried under a giant pile of stones or weighed down and tossed into a river to see if he would float. Would it be anything less than totally apropos if Christianity missed it's big chance as a direct result of how twisted they had become?
