Jesus Christ. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Jesus Christ. <\/span><\/span><\/span>The name Jesus is derived from Joshua’s Old Testament name, which means, “Yahweh God is salvation.” <\/span><\/span><\/span>The title Christ means one chosen and anointed by God to be the Messiah who delivers God’s people. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Roughly two thousand years ago, Jesus was born in a dumpy, rural, hick town, not unlike today where guys change their own oil, think for wrestling is real, find women who chew tobacco sexy, and eat a lot of hot pockets with their uncle-daddy. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Jesus’ Mom Was A Poor, Unwanted Teenage Girl Who Was Mocked For Claiming She Conceived Through The Holy Spirit. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Most people thought she was concocted by a crazy story to cover the \u201cfact\u201d she was knocking boots with some guy in the backseat of a car at the prom.<\/span><\/span><\/span>Jesus was adopted by a simple carpenter named Joseph and spent the first thirty years of his life in obscurity, swinging a hammer with his dad. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Around the Age of Thirty, Jesus began a public minister that included preaching, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and befriending social misfits such as perverts, drunks, and thieves.<\/span><\/span><\/span>Jesus’ ministers spanned only three short years before he was put to death for declaring himself to be God. <\/span>He died by shameful crucifixion like tens of thousands of people before and after him. <\/span>At first glance, Jesus’ r\u00e9sum\u00e9 is rather simple. <\/span>He never traveled more than a few hundred miles from his home. <\/span>He never held a political office, never wrote a book, never married, never had sex, never attended college, never visited a big city, and never won a poker tournament. <\/span>He died both homeless and poor. <\/span>Nonetheless, Jesus is the most famous person in all of human history. <\/span>More songs have been sung to him, artwork created of him, and books written about him than anyone who has ever lived. <\/span>In fact, Jesus looms so large over human history that we actually measure time by him; <\/span>Our calendar is divided into years before and after his birth, <\/span>noted as BC (\u201cbefore Christ\u201d) and ad (anno Domini, meaning \u201cin the year of the Lord\u201d), respectively. <\/span>No army, nation, or person has changed human history to the degree that Jesus, the homeless man, has. <\/span>Some two thousand years after he walked the earth, Jesus remains as hot as ever. <\/span>In fact, as Paul promised in 2 Corinthians 11: 3-4, the opinions about Jesus are countless in seemingly every area of \u200b\u200bculture.<\/span><\/span>
JESUS \u200b\u200bOF POP CULTURE<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

On television, Jesus often appears on the long-running animation hits The Simpsons and South Park. <\/span>Jesus also appears in the comedic sketches of vulgar comic Carlos Mencia’s hit show of Mind of Mencia, which explores everything from what it would have been like for Jesus to be married in his royal religious wrestling rumble with founders of other major world religions . <\/span>Dog Bounty Hunter, the famous Christian bail bondsman, prays to Jesus on almost every episode of his hit television show, gathering his wife in the clear heels and the rest of their chain-smoking, mace-shooting to ask Jesus to bless each manhunt. <\/span>In the world of fashion, Jesus appears on numerous T-shirts, including the popular “Jesus Is My Homeboy” shirt, worn by everyone from Madonna to Ashton Kutcher, Ben Affleck, <\/span>Brad Pitt and Pamela Anderson. <\/span>Roughly one hundred films have been made about Jesus, including the top-grossing movies like The Passion of the Christ and The Da Vinci Code, along with the bizarre Canadian kungfu hero El Santos to battle an army of vampires that can walk in the daylight). <\/span>Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, comedian Will Ferrell (as Ricky Bobby) prays to \u201c8-pound, 6-ounce, newborn infant Jesus\u201d in \u201cgolden, fleece diapers.\u201d <\/span>There are even Jesus wrestling federations, such as Wrestling for Jesus, Ultimate Christian Wrestling, and The Christian Wrestling Foundation, with wrestlers named Zion and Satan and sponsors like auto parts stores and tattoo parlor dedicated to redneck outreach. <\/span>Jesus even appears on a 110 foot, <\/span>750-pound hot-air balloon, monster truck, and innumerable tattoos. <\/span>In the world of poker, Phil Gordon said, \u201cEven Jesus wouldn’t bet all his chips on a Jack-three!\u201d 1 Musically, everyone from Kanye West’s rapper The Killers, punk rockers Green Day, American Idol country- Crooner Carrie Underwood and the world top band, U2, are singing about Jesus. <\/span>The Beatles’ frontman John Lennon even once said, “We’re more popular than Jesus now.” <\/span>Even homosexuals have their own spin on Jesus. <\/span>The homosexual Metropolitan Community Churches homepage is www.Jesus.com. <\/span>The portrayal of Jesus as a gay man also appears in the book Jesus Acted Up by Robert Goss and in the play Corpus Christi by Terrence McNally. <\/span>In the world of sports, it seems every time someone scores a touchdown, hits a shot at the buzzer, throws a no-hitter, <\/span>or knocks someone out, they thank their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, also affectionately referred to as \u201cMy Coach\u201d and \u201cThe Big Guy Upstairs.\u201d <\/span>Gigi Becali, owner of the Romanian soccer club Steaua, reportedly even commissioned a copy of da Vinci’s Last Supper portrait, with himself as Jesus Christ. minor league baseball players with the name \u201cJesus\u201d somewhere in their name. <\/span>Jesus is now even on the radio hosting and call-in show. <\/span>Neil Saavedra pretends to be Jesus Christ on his Sunday morning The Jesus Christ Show.3 The hit program is an exploration of what it would be like if Jesus lived in Los Angeles and hosted his own call-in advice show. <\/span>also affectionately referred to as \u201cMy Coach\u201d and \u201cThe Big Guy Upstairs.\u201d <\/span>Gigi Becali, the owner of the Romanian soccer club Steaua, reportedly even commissioned a copy of da Vinci’s Last Supper portrait, with himself as Jesus Christ.2 It also seems that Jesus is a real baseball fan \u2014 there are twelve major league and sixty-two minor league baseball players with the name \u201cJesus\u201d somewhere in their name. <\/span>Jesus is now even on the radio hosting and call-in show. <\/span>Neil Saavedra
