A friend of mine recently sent me the URL to The Second Coming Project. In short, the bozos behind this crackpot idea are planning on cloning Jesus. They have apparently made arrangements to obtain a piece of one of the alleged remnants of Jesus' life on earth, from which they'll extract the holy DNA.
The site doesn't mention which particular relic they're obtaining. But there are hundreds of churches around the world that claim to have the foreskin of Christ (or part of it). Aside from being a bit on the grotesque side, I have to point out that such claims are undoubtedly fake. The whole operation is a scam.
But can you imagine if it were true, and it worked? My friend thought it would be hysterical if Jesus turned out to be, say, a black woman. I, myself, tend to wonder how a resurrected savior figure would like being cloned. You'd think he'd want the Second Coming to be on his own terms, wouldn't you?
And I can see how things would go during the infancy of the clone. There would, of course, be a theme park. A recreation of all the prime events in the life of the Lord, from the manger scene to the crucifixion. Of course, something will go wrong, and the first set of theologians taken on the tour will be "accidentally" stuck on crosses on top of a hill…
Sorry. Guess I've watched Jurassic Park too many times.
And I'm obviously not the only one.
