Max: Jesus Wants Tree Held Hostage

Via the STL Post

"The Rev. Johnnie B. Wilson II has an offer for the people of Centralia, Ill.: Come up with $75,000 and he'll spare a 200-year-old bur oak tree on his church's property."

Think he's losing any of his flock? "Gee hon, lets go get our moral and spiritual advice from an extortionist." I understand that he needs more parking for his church, but pissing off most of the town is probably going to negate the need for more parking. So he has actually already solved his problem

Slow news day ...

Wouldn't cutting down the tree be killing one of "God's Creatures?" Wouldn't that be murder, murder for a parking lot? WWJD???

Jesus would hold the tree hostage, of course.

I thought He'd give the tree a sentient mind, convince it it was to be the king of trees, have it travel around preaching how to be a good tree to other trees, finally culminating in Bush seeing the tree as a threat and having it nailed to a pile of liberals.

"Nailed to a pile of liberals" - that's how I want to go!

Just as long as I'm on bottom, and there are lots of red hair and big, natural boobs - I'm there! Take me now, Jesus!
