(New
York, NY) At 11:00 EST last night, Jesus H. Christ interrupted
regularly
scheduled programs on every TV channel across the Western Hemisphere
with a
stunning simulcast announcement. Effective immediately, Jesus stated,
"I
resign My post as Lord and Savior at every evangelical church or
Christian
organization that sponsors antigay legislation or seeks to deny civil
or human
rights to LGBT communities." </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
Attired
in a tasteful three-piece suit discretely covering his stigmata, Jesus
spake in
sonorous, well-modulated tones as He listed each of the 38 African
countries
with draconic antigay legislation, including Uganda, whose recently
signed
"kill the gays" bill warrants life in prison if not the death penalty
for "aggravated homosexuality." Jesus also described Russia's
"gay propaganda" law, which, besides imprisoning people for
"homosexual acts," may soon lead to government seizure of children
from their LGBT parents. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
What
is striking about these international "pro-family," antigay
campaigns, Jesus continued – miraculously preempting commercial after
commercial – is the fact that almost all have been influenced, guided,
and
funded by predominantly white, rightwing Christian groups based in the
United
States. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
"Woe
unto you hypocrites, you purveyors of hate," thundered Jesus, citing in
particular Scott Lively of the newly formed Coalition for Family Values
and
Larry Jacobs of the World Congress of Families. "For ye hast founded
thy
leprous movement upon the immoral, yea illegal use of My image." </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
His
luminous eyes seeming to follow millions of TV viewers around their
living
rooms, Jesus concluded: "I hereby revoke from said movement, all
intellectual property rights to Christian logos, including but not
limited to
Jesus throw pillows, Last-Supper lunchboxes, fatuous Broadway musicals,
glow-in-the-dark
statuettes of Me, and, especially and retroactively, all usage of the
Jesus trademark to
justify slavery and/or colonialism." </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
So
saying, Jesus wafted somewhere off camera. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
Such
an astounding "Divine Intervention" might be expected to change the
course of Western religion. Strangely, however, no one seems to care,
and
leaders of Jesus' evangelical target groups are unperturbed. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
"OK
by me; we just get another martyr," said Scott Lively when reached by
telephone. "Maybe this time a broad, or some kid who's been to heaven.
Actually, this is a relief. I always found it hard to engender
homophobia by
asking people to open their hearts to a guy in a robe and loincloth,
who hung
out with twelve other similarly attired guys talking about love. I
mean, how
queer is that?"</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
Another
evangelical pastor who preferred to remain anonymous also expressed
relief.
"Maybe this time we can find some figurehead who isn't Jewish," he
said. "It'd sure make it easier to tell those backroom holocaust
jokes."</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
But
this reporter – ever in search of the proper journalistic balance –
decided to
get Jesus' side of the story. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
I
caught up with the unemployed messiah at the Washington Square Diner on
West
4th Street. This time, He appeared in jeans and sandals, his long hair
covering
his eyes like so many dudes of the West Village. Jesus sat down and
ordered a
chocolate egg cream. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
"Sorry
I'm late," He said. "I stayed for a group hug after my Codependents
Anonymous meeting. You see, Susie, I've only just become aware of my
problem. I
have this centuries-old addiction to dying for other people's sins. "</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
This
reporter, though aghast, managed to ask objectively, "How does that
make
you feel?"</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
"I’m
struggling with guilt, Susie. But, I'm in recovery. As people in my
twelve-step
group remind me, I'm attracted to narcissists. It was Superman who made
me see
that."</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
"Superman
is codependent?" gasped this reporter.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
"Yeah,
big time – uh-oh. You're not going to repeat that?"</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
This
reporter assured Jesus that she was a professional. "I've heard rumors
that you were on Scott Lively's payroll. That you waited to resign
until your
Christmas bonus check cleared. True?"</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
"Lies,
Susie, all lies," sighed Jesus. "Although I will say they never let
me observe casual Fridays." </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
"For
years," Jesus explained, "I forgave Christian leaders as they shored
up their power in the U.S. by blaming queers for the world's ills. I
forgave
them as they took their campaigns to countries like Uganda and Russia.
Maybe
because I, as a lower-middle-class, many-gendered person of color, was
vulnerable to being manipulated by a bunch of straight white guys." </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
"Do
you ever get jokes about being born in a barn?" asked this reporter,
eager
to trump Jesus' Identity card. But He seemed not to hear.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
"Then
Scott Lively wrote a book called <i>The Pink
Swastika</i>, about how gays inspired the worst Nazi atrocities. I hit
rock
bottom. I felt dirty, so used. One day in the marketplace, I ran into
Krishna.
He suggested I come to a meeting and surrender to some so-called higher
power." </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
"That
saved you?"</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
"Ha,
good one, Susie. Yes, it did," said Jesus, swiping a couple of sugar
packets. "I had the chance to hang out among other heroes and avatars
with
the same problem. I learned that we can't fix people." </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
This
reporter started to cry. "You can't?"</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
"You
especially can't fix people who aren't broken, like queers. But you <i>can</i>
stand up and say No."</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
"No
to who?"</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
"No
to <i>whom</i>, Susie. You can say No to
anyone who uses any religious icon to perpetuate fear and hatred." </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
"What
are your plans now, Jesus?" I gulped through my tears.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
Jesus
stood up and put on his Mets cap. "Me, I'm going to clean out the
garage,
sit with my pain, maybe write that novel…"</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin: 1em 0pt 20px; line-height: 150%; color: rgb(80, 80, 80); font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; word-wrap: break-word;">
And
He was gone. Leaving this reporter and her readers to face yet another
deadline
– and so many more demagogues. One day at a time.</p>
