  • I love this story
  • related: Jesus in India :)
  • one more and I'm done: The Tomb of Jesus in India
  • We need a Mormon to complete the trifecta.
  • No, listen, he died in India AND Japan. He keeps dying then waking up again. It's hell for him, but that's life.
  • And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England
  • No, listen, he died in India AND Japan. He keeps dying then waking up again. It's hell for him, but that's life. Beautiful. First one to write the short story/film treatment/novella wins.
  • Wandering Jew. It's obvious. Dracula IS Jesus.
  • Was this before or after he came to Utah? That guy sure did get around. He must have had a lot of frequent flyer miles.
  • It was part of the Jesus Christ Worldwide Farwell Tour. (At one time, when I was even more antagonistic than I am now, I wanted to create a whole line of blasphemous t-shirts. One of them was the Jesus Christ Worldwide Farwell Tour, with tour stops on the back in Mexico, India, America, etc))
  • Sir Arthur: Well, it is a remarkable discovery. A group of us were up in The Promised Land - as I believe it's called - and we were just rooting around for some sticks to start a fire with, and, by some accident, this tiny little form had been preserved perfectly. So I picked it up, put it in my knapsack, brought it home and had it scientifically examined at my institute... it's Christ at the age of about nine months - just beginning to walk. Well, more crawling than walking... crawling across the desert in search of, um, followers, really. And then, of course, he died. Morris: So, what are the implications, then? Christ was fossilised when he was that small... Sir Arthur: He was practising resurrection. Because, if you're going to resurrect yourself in front of thousands of people, and found a religion on it, you don't want to make a cock-up, do you? So, from a very early age, he was dropping dead and resurrecting himself. There are probably thousands of bodies of Jesus, and this is just the youngest one Morris: A series of larvae. Sir Arthur: Almost. Yes. Pupae. In fact, he never really got it right at the end. It's not as If he was pronounced dead on the cross, and then flew up and flapped his wings and said, "Hello, boys!" He chose a rather complicated way... had to be put in a cave, with a boulder put in front of it... Paul Deaniels could do that. So he never really got the hang of it...
  • I was listening to that in my car this morning.
  • Wow, not even the Pope can stop them. Yes, but what about . . . SuperPope!?!?
  • monkeyfilter: Na-Nee-Ya-Do-Ya-Ra, a mantra chanted for generations in Shingo which it claims, bears no resemblance to Japanese and may be an ancient Hebrew-Egyptian riddle. (shawnj, i'd definitely buy that T-shirt!)
  • in other tomb of jesus news: Punch-up at tomb of Jesus Allyn Fisher-Ilan in Jerusalem Tuesday September 28, 2004 The Guardian Fistfights broke out yesterday between Christians gathered on the site of the crucifixion and burial of Jesus Christ. "There was lots of hitting going on. Police were hit, monks were hit ... there were people with bloodied faces," said a witness in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, reputed to be Golgotha where Christ was crucified, and the site of the tomb where he was buried.
  • Look, if all this jesus shit keeps going on, I'm gonna start posting all my anti-xtian links from my bookmarks, none of them crank sites, all scholarly. And there's a shitload.
  • Jesus is Big in Japan.
  • Don't the Mormons believe that Jesus came to the Americas? Fuck, that Jesus, he gets around.
  • Jesus just left Chicago, And he's bound for New Orleans...
  • He also, and I don't know if I've mentioned this before or not, built my hotrod. Ding-a-ding-dang-a-dang-a-long-ling-long.
  • I heard he's leaving on that midnight train to Georgia. Woo woo!
  • Got a one way ticket back . . . to the place . . he once knew . . . AHHhoo I got to be with him . . (I know you will) Owwn that midnight train to Georgia . . (Leavin' on the midnight train, to Georgiaaaaaa - Whoo! whoo!) greatest.bassline.ever. Well one of 'em. Who was that, Jemmott? And Nosey - you don' have the *guts* to link to scholarly anti-xtian sites . . . gets bookmark list ready to append
  • Jesus is Big in Japan. Or at least taller than average.
  • It's hell for him, but that's life. the kid is right - that would make an amazing short story. Someone write it. :) MoFi is funny today. I love you guys.
  • And coming back, after reading the article - great link, quidnunc, that was a really interesting story. Thanks.
  • Yes, well, if so: you owe me your first born son. Just sayin'.
  • The last will and testament of the Japanese Jesus. Have at thee, thou malignant narcissists!
  • Great stuff. quidnunc's screenplay suggestion has Bollywood written all over it. Nostrildamus, please release those links into the wild. del.icio.us maybe?
  • Fistfights broke out yesterday between Christians Man, people are really unchristian about the tomb. When I visited the Holy Sepulchre, I remember hearing that monks of different sects fought for the honour of sweeping the area around Christ's last resting place.
  • Look, if all this jesus shit keeps going on, I'm gonna start posting all my anti-xtian links from my bookmarks, none of them crank sites, all scholarly. And there's a shitload. Nostrildamus: I, for one, would like to see them. But them I'm the curious sort.
  • Jesus just left Chicago, And he's bound for New Orleans... Nice obscure ZZ Top reference (although I prefer "Ride On" by AC/DC, which steals the chords from above) Look, if all this jesus shit keeps going on, I'm gonna start posting all my anti-xtian links from my bookmarks, none of them crank sites, all scholarly. And there's a shitload. Can I summarize? Religon is made up. The end. I for one don't need to continually read people reaffirming what I already know, but that's me.
  • Thanks Dr J. I guess I don't need that post doc degree in Theology. Actually, I think that the scholarly stuff about why people believe in religion is facinatin', not so much as if it's made up or not.
  • Christianity's Darkest Secrets Maaaaaary Christmas everyone!
  • This reminds me of a theory some folks have that one of the "lost tribes" of Israel wound up in Japan with the Ark. Google "ark of the covenant japan" for some interesting links. There are certainly some weird parallels, but I'm much more likely to believe that "some Jews" wound up in Japan rather than one particularly famous one... So far as having the Ark, I guess Japan and Ethiopia can fight it out for memespace with Ark nuts. Nostriladamus, make with the links! I'm curious to see if you've got anything I'm not familiar with. Thanks!
