Jeebus, Mo, and Abe

Release your inner Bodhisattva today.  Let that fucker run amok.  This is graduate level shit, man.  Take notes.  Pay attention.  People pay thousands of dollars to learn this stuff.

I wonder if the Buddha swears?

I wonder if Jeebus has a sense of humor?  Wouldn't the Bible be a lot more accessible if there were some jokes in there?  I never heard Jeebus tell a joke.  I do know that the founder of Christianity was Jewish.  Maybe that's the joke.  "A Jew, a Christian, and a prophet walk into a bar . . .  Wait a minute, wait a minute - it's only one person."

I was in a home outside of Marrakesh once, invited to a dinner that was hosted by three Muslims that were helping us tour Morrocco.  My traveling buddy was Jewish.  I walked into the sitting room where we were going to eat and there were some appetizers and a few opened bottles of wine - red wine, very pungent.  Our host offered to pour us some wine - my Jewish friend accepted a glass while I declined.  I don't remember if I explained any further than that I just didn't want a glass of wine.  One of the hosts quipped: "Great.  Three Muslims and a Jew and it's the Christian who isn't going to  drink anything."  I can envision Mohammed shaking his head and saying "Oh, for fuck's sake.  Really?"

Maybe there's a heaven where Abraham, Jesus, and Mohammad hang out.  Play paddle tennis.  Lounge by the pool.  Sleep in.  "Can you believe these idiots down there?" one of them might say. " They are totally missing the point.  We've given them three different guides for good living and all they do is bitch and complain."

Can you imagine one of them saying: "Hey, Jeebus, your people aren't doing it right so we're going to kill them?"  Yeah.  That would solve everything.
