“It was a nice idea to give the world to the meek, but can you really seeing one them lot stepping forward to claim it?”

“You said what? BLOOD? What in hell inspired you to say that? that’s vampirism that is, we can’t have that! And your body? So now we have cannibalism as well as vampirism. What exatcly were you smoking?”

“And what exactly did that fig tree do that was so bad(this is an obscure reference but not as obscure as the passage itself)”

“Yeah I know you’ve been looking after the bloody flowers in teh fields, and the weeds as well.”

“Don’t make me send you to bed with no supper.”

Blasphemy blasph-for-you, blash-for-every-boy-and-girl!

“Everytime I open the paper its Jesus did this Jesus did that its getting damned repetitive. And while I am on the subject: Just when did you change your name to Jesus? What Yeshua wasnt good enough for you? I named you after my great uncle and now you reject his name?! OY! What will the rest of the family say about this latest bit of going with the newfangled fads?”  
Hmm I think theres some pent up aggression in me.😃

You realise that if this r-e-l-i-g-i-o-n thing takes off it’s gonna cause a whole lot of bother.
