Jesus does walk...

I just want to send a personal “Thank You” to all those crazy inbred religious nuts that have nothing better to do than harass television stations and/or caused a raucous because of a hyped NBC show that challenged your beliefs. I’m sure your priest at your local church is just one big stinkin’ saint. I know Jesus Christ was a true fan of the show – since I just talked to her last night and she couldn’t stop gabbing about how entertaining and honest it was. She will no doubt be pissed off now. I have a feeling she is going to spread some pixie dust on your children to turn them into one of those awful, immoral homosexuals.

'The Book of Daniel' Axed
Controversial new US drama The Book Of Daniel, starring actor Aidan Quinn as a pill-popping Episcopal priest, has been canceled. The show was a target for conservative religious groups who were upset that the main character, Father Daniel Webster, conducted regular chats with Jesus as he popped painkillers. The show also features storylines dealing with drug dealing, alcoholism and homosexuality, which also outraged religious groups, who petitioned to get the show canceled. A television station in Indiana had to post security outside their studios after receiving death threats for airing the controversial religious drama. Friday's installment of the show came in a distant third in its time slot and NBC network executives decided to pull the show. The show had filmed eight episodes but no new episodes are scheduled to air and will be replaced by coverage of the Winter Olympics.

On the flip side, I’m sure Jesus will be extremely honored that Kanye West posed as her on the cover of Rolling Stone. If you didn’t know, Ms. Christ is a devout Hip Hop fanatic. You would be surprised how much time she spends listening to Lil’ Kim, Biggie, and the Ying Yang Twins. Homegirl does a pole trick that would make the strippers at Jewel's Catch One blush.

West Causes Controversy By Posing As Jesus Christ
Rapper Kanye West has a new feud brewing with America's Catholic League after posing as the wounded Jesus Christ on the cover of the upcoming issue of music magazine Rolling Stone. Bloodied West appears wearing a crown of thorns on his head in a provocative shot, which has upset the religious group's leaders, who are calling his latest controversial act "offensive" and "trite." Catholic League spokeswoman Kiera McCaffrey says, "It's moronic. I mean, Kanye West as Jesus? He's a pop star." But the Jesus Walks rapper insists he has a lot in common with Christ because he has to fight for recognition and suffer for success. In the accompanying article, West talks about the criticism fired at him last year when he famously suggested President George W. Bush was a racist during a Hurricane Katrina telethon, and criticized the US leader for not reacting to the disaster quicker. He explains, "If I was more complacent and I let things slide, my life would be easier, but you all wouldn't be as entertained. My misery is your pleasure." In the Rolling Stone spread, West also poses as boxing great Muhammad Ali.

Actually, after re-reading that article, doesn’t it sound like Kiera McCaffrey really wanted to say "It's moronic. I mean, Kanye West as Jesus? He's a black."
