A satirical look at the new manifestation of the son of God.

(SALEM, Ore.) - The United Council of Christian Churches, The Vatican, and The World Christian Coalition today introduced to the world the New Jesus, spokesperson, role model and savior to Christians worldwide.

Only ten reporters have been granted an interview, and I am thankful to have been one of them. The New Jesus differs in many ways from the first, including His appearance. Unlike the robe-wearing, sandal-clad Jesus of old, the new Jesus arrived for the interview wearing cammo pants and a Sturgis T-shirt with the sleeves cut off.
