## Either the Enterprise would be having great fortune all the time or be encountering great misfortune. Probably the later. Jesus always hung around with the sinners. Guess he’d fee right at home then.

## Archer to Jesus: “That’s not standard issue crewman! And get that hair cut!” Jesus waves hand and Archer is turned into a pile of salt.

## Actually, wouldn’t Jesus be saying to Hoshi, “If Aramaic is good enough for me…”

Jesus: “Dad said He liked your work when He was leaping you around. Now it’s my turn.”

Jesus was way cool. He could turn water into wine. And, if he wanted to, he could turn wheat into marijuana, sugar into cocaine and vitamins into amphetamines. Jesus was way cool.

Phlox on karoke night sings Webber’s, “pie jesu, pie jesu, pie jesu, pie jesu - qui tollis peccata mundi dona eis requiem - dona eis requiem.”  
The audience turns as one and tosses Boston creme pies at Jesus.

I’ve heard of a spike in the Warp Core, but this is rediculous. But if the spike causes a breach we’d all get nailed!

**NCB** , your reposts are composts and compotes. **Aes** , I will mail your tape tomorrow. Peter David is the tits. Good books, man.  
I never should have brought up **That Jesus Movie**. (Like **That 70s Show**. You know, the Passion thing. What have we wrought? Rot?

When that chiropractor warned me that I would wonder later what the crap he had done, he wasn’t kidding.

We need readjustments. Things that make us crackle and crunch.

**NCB** , you gonna eat that?

Jesus walks into Ten Forward, up to the bar, and places a handful of nails in front of Guinan. He says, “You think you can put me up for the night?”

Oh wait, that’s the wrong Enterprise, sorry.

If Pholx and Jesus do a musical number, it would have to be… [Surgens Jesus!](http://www.tobyrush.com/info/composition/pdf/surgensjesus.pdf) (Link to PDF sheet music. And that’s a damn hard song to sing, let me tell you.)

Wow, raise someone from the dead before they’re born…

that would call for a whole new testiment.

But the shroud turns out to be a fake and they clone a 12th century religious artifact fraud.

I can’t believe I’m the first person to point out that the Jesus of the ST universe is clearly Spock.

- Resurrection

- God/Man duality in the form of Vulcan/Human duality

- Green blood. (I assume that Jesus had green blood)

You know, there are a few times in your life where you’re reading a thread, and you read a statement and say to yourself, “You know, there’s absolutely nothing I could possibly add to that.”

Then you go back to bed.
