Last night I was watching one of those dumb TV shows
about unexplained mysteries. You know, like Bigfoot and
the Loch Ness monster and stuff. I would have to put
Jesus in that category too. He is so elusive that we have to
just sort of imagine that he’s standing there next to us but
chooses to stay invisible. Actually, I think maybe he’s
sort of hovering, not standing. Some people bitch about
him being invisible and non-communicative. But I think
it adds to the mystique and lore. He probably found out a
long time ago that when he makes a physical appearance,
no one believes it’s really him, and he gets reactions like
“You’re Jesus? Yeah right, and I’m the tooth fairy.” So
he probably figures that remaining in the shadows is a
better move. Besides, that way, people can project
whatever personality on him that they want. They can
love him as a projection. A hovering projection.
