Title: "The Man" is keeping Jesus Christ down. Post by: Shockeye on May 07, 2005, 06:59:32 PM Quote from: AP Jesus Christ has trouble with graven image (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7773450/) W.Va. refuses driver’s license to man using controversial name The Associated Press Updated: 5:11 p.m. ET May 7, 2005 CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Jesus Christ is hoping to move to West Virginia, but he’s having trouble getting a driver’s license. The man is described as a white-haired businessman who’s been using that name for 15 years without a problem. He has a U.S. passport, Social Security card and Washington, D.C., driver’s license bearing the name Jesus Christ. But he still falls short of West Virginia title and license requirements, since his Florida birth certificate bears his original name. Plus, the man born as Peter Robert Phillips Jr. still hasn’t gotten an official name change approved in Washington. A District of Columbia judge denied the legal change two years ago, saying the name could provoke “a violent reaction” or “significantly” offend people. An appeals court ruling last month, however, will start that process anew. Christ’s attorney says the name change was an effort to express his faith.

Why do you need a car when you can walk on water and BEND TIME ITSELF? Just wondering. Title: Re: "The Man" is keeping Jesus Christ down.

Especially given that the original concept of Lucifer was simply God's ombudsman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ombudsman), a particularly well-respected angel in the corporate hierarchy whose job was to literally play devil's advocate in high-level angelic arguments (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satan#Satan_as_an_accuser)... ;-) Title: Re: "The Man" is keeping Jesus Christ down.

Bah I was having a perfectly nice morning until you invoked You Know Who. M: I came here for a good argument. A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument. M: An argument isn't just contradiction. A: It can be. M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition. A: No it isn't. M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction. A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position. M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.' A: Yes it is! M: No it isn't!
