Jesus H. Christ: Half-Boy, Half-Alien, All TERROR!
I just finished writing <a href="http://throbert.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">an essay</a> about how the canonical and extra-canonical biography of Jesus can be seen as (in part) a sci-fi/horror story. I posted the URL in Biblical Criticism, where it seemed to belong, but it hasn't attracted much attention there so far.
Anyway, I'd appreciate feedback, and you shouldn't miss the links to the apocryphal Gospels, which contain many more hilariously twisted episodes than I actually cited in the essay. |

I loved it too! And actually a fairly accurate assessment!

I like the second article: "So if the Church said 'Hey, that stuff about not using rubbers or jacking off was totally crazy,' the response from the laity would be a loud but forgiving 'NO SHIT!'"
