1. We needed a Jesus at the health care meeting I attended
No compassion, only disdain for those less fortunate. Thanks to the few brave liberals who let their presence be known in a polite manner. We got glares of hatred from the rest, many of whom wore "Christian" tee shirts. Makes one wonder if they ever read the words of Jesus?

6. I'm sorry ... Jesus is busy right now attending to the hangnails of the Rich Republicans ...
he can't be bothered with curing your terminal cancer ... but he'll pray for you ...

3. I don't care if it rains or freezes
I don't care if it rains or freezes
'Long as I got my plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through my trials and tribulations
And my travels through the nations
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far

But it's $2.17 + shipping and handling.

4. Yup - "Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their mark
Made everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It's easy to see without looking too far
That not much
Is really sacred."

5. My eyes have seen the glory
My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord
He was driving 'round the corner in a '57 Ford
He had one hand on the throttle
and another on a bottle
of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer

Glory, Glory
What a helluva way to die, etc...
