First James Cameron trotted out bones to the Discovery Channel and made claims about them–that they were the bones of the biblical Jesus–that not even the man who discovered them claimed. Now ABC highlights a nut in Houston, giving him a platform to be legitimized, who claims to be Jesus. And the Anti-Christ. And who grew up stealing to pay for his heroin addiction. The headline reads, “Jesus Might Be Alive and Well in Houston”, giving the story a “hey, it could be true” air.

Amazing how the ever-sensitive media that blushed and turned away when the Danish cartoons of Muhammad came calling have no problem with airing the flimsiest story that calls Christianity into question. The gatekeepers have a very selective gate. As one commenter to the WorldView post said, “Do you think ABC would do a similar story about some character claiming to be Mohammed, Martin Luther King, Abraham etc?”

Yeah, me neither
