"It's hard to nail Jesus down"

[seemslikeadream]

This morning on Imus he replayed Tweety interviewing Father Greely.


MATTHEWS: I wish we would have a pre-passion movie about what he came to teach us about.

GREELEY: It‘s pretty hard to make a movie about Jesus, because he is a tricky kind of guy, paradoxical, mysterious. He had to be to represent the father in heaven, but it‘s hard to nail him down. I was tempted once...

MATTHEWS: Do you think you know—as a churchman, after all these years of studying the Bible and reading the New Testament a million times, do you have a sense of his personality, Jesus‘ personality?

Does Matthews ever ever listen to what people say on his show!

4. that is hysterical!

And Tweety never listens. He's too busy saving up his breath for the next thing he's gonna scream.

5. a nearby fundamentalism church. . .

has a marquee by the road, upon which they're always putting unbelievable trite declarations. . .Like. . .

"Our Sundays are better than Dairy Queen's"

but the most tasteless ever was. . .

"Christ, he hung in there for you."

8. One in Royal Oak said "Sign broken, come inside for message"

I thought it was kind of cute.
They had a Sundae pun once, too. It was something like "No cones, but you'll love our Sundays".

I personally think Jesus had a great sense of humor and it shows obviously in comments like "Give to Ceasar what is Ceasar's", and "he who is without sin cast the first stone". Or the remark about it being easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven. Or suggesting we lob off the body parts that cause us to sin.

20. Catholics used to be funny

I wouldn't be surprised if he said that on purpose. Pukes take everything, even our sense of humor.
