Try To Get Good Grades

 

I have received an email from Jesus Christ. That can mean any number of things, but today it means that the creator of ‘What Would Jesus Blog?‘ was nice enough to respond to my interview questions. Written from the perspective of the Son of God, this blog discusses all things normal and mundane, but puts an understandably religious slant on them. By virtue making them no longer mundane, and instead decidedly hilarious. I know not the author’s real name, but he was willing shed some insight about why he decided to create the site.

 

“I like to write, and ‘What Would Jesus Blog?’ sounded like a fun blog to write for. I’m one of those people who need creative outlets. My blog is one of those outlets.”

 

Often times when people approach religion while laughing they are doing it just to provoke a reaction in the followers: to pick a fight or point out mental deficiency. That isn’t the feel of this site at all, and that seems due in no small part to the author’s sincere appreciation (perhaps not a belief in, but a profound respect of) Jesus and his teachings.

 

“People get more offended by Jesus than most other people in the history of mankind, which is fascinating because Jesus is such a likable figure. God is love. I think lots of people have problems with Christians, and Jesus gets blamed for their actions. However, Jesus always had the ability to offend, and my blog is no different.”

Of all the posts that Jesus has done, which does he prefer the most?

 

“I’d pick the post involving prostitutes at a church:

There you have it. Pretending to be a deity and waxing philosophical, or just reviewing music and recommending movies, this blog shows that you can exercise your creative freedom and prove time and time again that being a lover might not be as sexy as being a fighter, but it’s a lot less bloody.

 

I love you,

Jesus Christ
