Jesus of Siberia?
His Highness Comandante Banana, King Of The Apes I & Chief of Quixotic Enterprises
There's no place for Quixotes or Jesuses!
Or do you think there's a place for a modern Jesus?
—Jesus of Siberia
Back in 1989, as the Soviet regime was collapsing, a man from the
Siberian town of Minusinsk, named Sergei Torop, lost his job as a
traffic cop. Shortly after that he had a vision, a vision in which he
discovered that he was in fact the second coming of Jesus. He changed
his name to Vissarion, giving his first public sermon in August of
1991.
When asked how he knew he was the new messiah, he answered, "It's
interesting but very complicated; I feel something violently surging
up from within me that had been held down until then."
"What happens to man when he wakes up and understands he is a man and
not an elephant? How can he explain what has happened to him?" he
added, laughing.

I remember reading about this feller in a travelogue by someone who spent
some time with him.
Mad as a fish, but he managed to convince enough people to build a whole
community around him.
One of the first things he did as Messiah was take a second wife, who
happened to be 16 at the time, much to the disappointment of his first wife.
She eventually caved in to the idea, well, because he was the Messiah after
all.
On second thoughts, I'm wondering if these people really are mad or
extremely crafty

I'd like to be the Messiah of the Jungle. It sounds like I'm breaking
new ground.
Well, someone has to fight for the dwindling forests, right?

Jesus of the Jungle has a nice ring to it.
You could always mix in your own life story with some other famous jungle
man like Tarzan, for example, just to make yourself look a bit more
impressive and get more followers.
That's how the Christians seem to do it.

Christians are like Slinkys. They're boring, but they'll put a smile on
your face when you push them down the stairs.
Lord Calvert
Or, as Bob Heinlein so aptly put, “The profession of shaman has many
advantages. It offers high status with a safe livelihood free of work
in the dreary, sweaty sense. In most societies it offers legal
privileges and immunities not granted to other men. But it is hard to
see how a man who has been given a mandate from on High to spread
tidings of joy to all mankind can be seriously interested in taking up
a collection to pay his salary; it causes one to suspect that the
shaman is on the moral level of any other con man. But it’s lovely
work if you can stomach it.”

I would be interested if I could get Sheena as my mate.

I guess the hint is that I'm riding the vehicle Jesus would have
ridden IF he ever existed.
The irony is that VERY FEW Christians do that and instead drive an
SUV. ;)

If Jesus of Siberia claims to have felt he was not an elephant, I can
say I'm not an ape anymore but a man. ;)

Well, Gandhi was inspired by him to do good things...
Who wouldn't be inspired by this? ;)

You can go into the jungle first, then place an ad that you need a
mate.
"Looking for pretty lady as disciple to have fun in the jungle.
Messiah of the Jungle only has peanuts and banana to offer, but
candidate will be rewarded by heavenly experience. We will spend time
chasing the Snake of Paradise*. Ugly women do not need to apply."
*There's a sex toy so-called that Eve would have gone crazy about.

If there's a place for Jesus to come and suffer, he would ride a bike.
"Crucifiction" only lasted a few days, and then he came back from the
dead...
No such hope for modern cyclists.

Just think..appoint yourself as a jebus you can then claim to be tax
free and make all the money gullible suckers will send you, but if
jebus ever so much as gets a cavity or a hang nail I say to nail the
bastart straight ot hte nearest cross to see if he can pull a hundini
like the last big zombieized muther did..

Jim Jones was a Messiah of the Jungle.
I better stick with the "Comandante Banana" label. Comandantes usually
don't follow any rules but their own, and are not known for paying
taxes. ;)

What has this got to do with alt.polyamory? Polyamory has nothing to
do with religion. It is the state or practice of having more than one
open romantic relationship at a time.
If you were a fairminded person you wouldn't post the above, and other
ones like it, to a forum designed to discuss polyamourous
relationships. Why you chose this place is a mystery to me. Your
posts, I notice go to alt.atheism,
alt.religion.christianity.hypocrisy, alt.atheism.satire,
alt.gathering.rainbow, which may well be the right places.
