Witch Willows WanderingsThe 2nd Coming of Jesus and Bob Dylan False Prophet
March 20th 2007 15:19
More recently in the news is a Reverend in Miami, FL that is staking his claim on being the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ. Apparently he has approximately 100,000 followers in the US and parts of Latin America. Many of the followers, especially the Hispanic followers, tend to give this “man” nearly half of their income. So while people are struggling he is “blinged out” in gold and diamond jewelry and a very nice suit. The front page of the website for the church is mostly an enormous picture of the good Reverend, who by the way used to be a heroin addict. You can go HERE to read the full article on his “holiness”.
In other news and “chit-chat”, it seems that since Cameron released the “Tomb of Jesus” on the Discovery Channel Christians are beginning to vent about how much they are being persecuted over the past couple of years. After being hounded and slammed by atheists and people in other religious groups they are beginning to stand up and ask “why me”? I guess it was okay when Jews, Pagans, and Muslims were being ridiculed….but when Christianity has been questioned and “bashed” then it’s just not right.
There are several other things going on recently as well, but I will refrain from blogging about them since I am in somewhat of a time crunch this week with moving and school work. One of the topics is the new movie “300”…apparently Iranians are up in arms over the way Persians are depicted in the movie….like you didn’t see that coming. It seems to me that nobody is allowed to say or do anything to offend anyone on this planet. So much for right of creativity and freedom of speech.
Blessed Be

I really enjoyed this post and thought I'd let you know ... I don't have anything to add really, except that it reflected so many of my own, un-expressed, feelings about the madness that religion is causing to the 'real world,' as cultures clash for supremacy.
... keep 'em coming...

I guess like everyone else, these folk invent a God in their own images.
