Jesus vs. Moses, take two 2003-04-21 - 9:19 p.m.
Thank you all for the very kind feedback on the Jesus/Moses Celebrity Deathmatch idea. I was thinking about this at werk.
Yes, werk was indeed very boring today.
So yeah. With the story of Moses long having been my favorite Bible story, my religious watching of "The Ten Commandments" every year, and my favoring of Spiderman in the whole Superman vs. Spiderman dilemma, I had tended to think that Moses would win. Turning the Nile into blood, sending plagues of pestilence and bugs and things like that, and parting the Red Sea, of course. But see, Jesus walked around healing people, and bringing back people from the dead, and bringing himself back from the dead and everything, so I thought that maybe what Jesus lacked in brute, sea-parting strength, he one-upped Moses in the spiritual, no, metaphysical (or something like that) realm.
Which, in turn, leads me to believe that Jesus most likely knew the location of some really potent 'shrooms. He enjoyed sharing the love. After all, Andrew Lloyd Webber only makes musicals based on the more rock star-inclined of the Biblical heroes. J.C. Supasta'! Joseph and his multi-colored duds. That sort of thing. No showstopping number for Moses and his superhuman, 40 years of desert-wandering, stanky B.O. (thanks skibigsky).
So I am very confused.
But Moses parted the Red Sea. He parted the Red Sea, people! Kickass!
