Is there something Jesus wasn't telling us?

This was inspired by The latest student outrage and commentary at Pharyngula. My little caption is a gag I had knocking about for some time; the discussion gave me an outlet to use it.

The great artwork is by Becki Jayne Harrelson; I saw it on the poster discussed above at Pharyngula, and I borrow it here for lame satiric purpose. Hit the artist's link to see other great works that scrutinize religious belief more than believers would like.

My suggestion of a lame Jesus is, of course, jokey; we have no idea whether he even lived, let alone how he liked his recreation. But if there were a guy named Jesus, and if he were gay... hey, so what? Would that change the Golden Rule at all? No... but Christians' anti-gay tirades sure make a mockery of The Rule.

Know why I'm all for the growing movement to give gays equal rights, including marriage? Because it's a matter of restoring basic human rights that should never have been denied, of course; that's the obvious reason! But I've got a couple of more selfish reasons too:

One, I simply can't figure out how gays getting married would hurt me, my kids, my wife, my pets, anybody, in any way.

And two: gays getting married throws the funda-mental cases into such a frothing tizzy, and I love to see that. As entertainment, it's better than midget monkey mud-wrestling.
