“So you’re a Jesus impersonator?”
It’s sort of like the Elvis tribute shows. We pay tribute to “The King” by imitating some of his moves. People like it. I’m not the King but I try to get people to believe I’m the King. Entertains ‘em and makes ‘em feel good, even if just for a few hours or years.
You said ‘we’ pay tribute to the King.
Oh yeah. A lot of us do Jesus for a living. I get a chance to work with Kansas School Board Jesus quite a bit. And sometimes you get a chance to go old skool with somebody like International Socialist Jesus. And then you’ve got the ancients. Got lunch with Spanish Inquisition Jesus. That was a real thrill.
So you’re a Jesus impersonator?
Well, that’s what some people like to call us (laughs loudly).
But we don’t like to use that term. We’re all professionals. We’ve got a lot of pride in what we do.
Have you ever met, you know, the real Jesus?
No, not really. But I’ve studied some of his movies.
LOL. Read the whole thing “Confessions of a Neo-Conservative Jesus” from Wordcat. Bitingly sarcastic cultural commentary that is all too relevant for today.
