Opinions vary ...Who was Jesus?
My SIL forwarded this. Don't know the authorship, but I enjoyed it.
Opinions vary ...Who was Jesus? ( Here are all kinds of options}
My friend from Baton Rouge, LA says that Jesus was a Cajun:
1. He liked to serve fish to his friends
2. He could make his own wine
3. And he wasn't afraid of water.
My black friend had 3 arguments that Jesus was Black:
1. He called everyone "brother"
2. He liked Gospel
3. He couldn't get a fair trial.
My Jewish friend had 3 arguments that Jesus was Jewish:
1. He went into His Father's business.
2. He lived at home until he was 33.
3. He was sure his Mother was a virgin and his mother was sure he was God.
My Italian friend gave his 3 arguments that Jesus was Italian:
1. He talked with his hands.
2. He had wine with every meal.
3. He used olive oil.
My California friends had 3 arguments that Jesus was a Californian:
1. He never cut his hair.
2. He walked around barefoot all the time.
3. He started a new religion
My Irish friend then gave his 3 arguments that Jesus was Irish:
1. He never got married.
2. He was always telling stories.
3. He loved green pastures.
BUT my LADY friend had most compelling evidence that Jesus was a WOMAN:
1. He fed a crowd at a moment's notice when there was no food.
2. He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just didn't get it.
3. And even when he was dead, he had to get up because there was more work to do.

More bumper sticker contradictions
I'm on a roll with bumper stickers. Today I saw a car with, among other things, one of those silver christian fish that has Darwin in the middle and feet on the bottom. There was also a bumper sticker that said "God Bless the Whole World". I am having trouble understanding why someone who doesn't believe in God would have a sticker that says "God Bless the Whole World". Bizarre.
I'm glad to see bumper stickers that have sentiments like "God Bless the Whole World". The "God Bless America" ones make me pretty uncomfortable. Truthfully though, I'd rather see one that says something like "God Bless the World with the Knowledge of His Saving Grace" or some such thing. The "God Bless America" ones remind me of the song by Keith Green with the lines:
Oh, bless me Lord, oh bless me Lord,
you know that's all I ever hear.
No one hurts, no one aches,
no one even sheds one tear.
But He cries, He weeps, He bleeds,
and He cares for your needs,
and you just sit back and keep soaking it in.
We sure act like God is Santa Claus sometimes. Gimme, gimme, gimme.
Those Darwin fish were quite a clever idea on someone's part, BTW.

Contradictions
Yesterday in the grocery store parking lot, I saw a big van with several bumper stickers on the back. There was one that said "If my music is too loud, you're too old" and another that said "Celtic Warrior". Is Celtic Warrior a band or something? Anyway, if it isn't a band, and this person was proclaiming that he or she is a Celtic Warrior, then I see a bit of a contradiction. My understanding is that a Celtic Warrior would have had respect for the elders he or she came into contact with - not condemnation. Thus it seems to me that this person could not really understand what it means to be a Celtic Warrior.
It just struck me as ironic. Now, if there is someone out there who knows if there is a band called "Celtic Warrior" I'm hoping you'll let me know.
