Nashville Metro Council Endorses Jesus & Xmas Trees
File this one under News from a Red State that Cut its Own Throat by Bringing you George W. Bush.

Last night, the Nashville Metropolitan Council passed a resolution affirming that Jesus was "an actual man." I kid you not. I think it's safe to assume that the Christian Governing Body means Jesus was a macho heterosexual white man who would be driving an SUV and living in Belle Meade, with a wife and two children, if only he were alive today.

If he lived in Nashville, he'd be married to his sister.

3. Nashville went for Kerry in the election.
Give us (the majority) a break.

4. The first 4 comments are funny, especially blogenfreude's about the NYC
transit negotiations.

This resolution, on the other hand, is not.

5. Oh, sheesh...
The most sickening part of the full article is that the council also voted that, "Jesus has had a more significant impact" on the U.S. than on anywhere else in the world.

Must be an interesting statement to people in Israel/Palestine, Rome, Greece, or anywhere else "impacted" long before that religion was brought to American shores.

:banghead:
