Jesus slipped
What are the implications (on all levels) if on the morning of the cruci-fiction, Jesus had slipped in the tub and smacked his head so hard he died?
Would churches have bathtubs at the altar and atop their steeples? Would communion be a hand wash in the basin? Would immersion baptism be a funeral rite? Would priests wear shower caps and terry-cloth robes instead of wool dresses? Would pope soap on a rope be a good gift for a xian? Would the confessional be side-by-side shower stalls? Would fundies still speak in tongues, or just "slip on the soap?" Would you be able to go to church in your pyjamas, or in the buff? Would the acolytes still light candles, or adjust the hot and cold taps? |

Thank you very much for a good laugh today. The most entertaining part was reading that list to the Catholic that sits next to me at work.

Would you bow down in the shower to "receive Jesus"?

receiving Jesus
Thank you - you led me to a question I had been meaning to ask - which I will place in Biblical Criticism and Archaeology...
Was Jesus gay? Oh, and by the way, as a homo, I find the receiving Jesus thing quite funny. :notworthy |

Oddly enough, the outcome of dropping the soap in the Catholic Convention shower block are the same.
