This is no bosh shot. Jesus Christ has "appeared" in court for
trial. This controversial man has refused to exit the news
headlines. It is either that he was born December 25 or not. Or
that he performed miracles or not. It has also been argued as to
whether he resurrected or not. Is he God or the son of God? Is
it true that his mother, Mary, was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
without conjugation? You decide! A church priest even labeled
him a "hypocrite" and "trickster."
Presently, the focus is on whether Jesus was a fictional, or
non-fictional, character. Now, listen up: A court judge has been
saddled with the responsibility to decide if the man who died
about two hundred years ago ever existed, or set foot, on earth.
Moreover, the scene of this drama is Italy, the home of Roman
Catholic Church, the most populous religion in the world. And
this church is headed by the pope, the veritable Vicar of Christ
who never lived! (Play me Sitting on Edge.)
At his trial before High Priest Joseph Caiaphas and Governor
Pontius Pilate when he was alive, Christ had no attorneys. But
in this celebrated case, lawyers on both sides are busy
marshalling arguments in court as to whether he lived or not,
before bemused onlookers. (Trust the learned men in wigs and
gowns.) But how did it all begin?
