Topic #2: Jesus as a Time Traveller

If Jesus were a time traveller, I think he'd go back to right after his death and beat the shit out of his followers who took it upon themselves to start twisting his teachings and philosophies to whatever end they thought was logical/propitious/whatever. Saul/Paul should be at the top of his list. And, before anyone gets their panties in a wad about my suggesting Jesus open up a can of Whoop-Ass on these converts, he essentially did this with the money changers in Temple, so he's not above doing what needs to be done.
Yes, I'd like to see the Jesunator go back in a time bubble and knock on Saul/Paul's door while Saul/Paul is writing 1 Corinthians 14:34-35. He should then pummel Saul/Paul and tell him he's a complete idiot, take his clothes (because travelling in time makes you naked as all Terminator fans are very aware), and head straight for Gaul to hang out with his wife and play with his kids for a while.
I think that if he set some people straight, we wouldn't be living in the screwed up world we're living in today. Of course, there's always the chance of failure, so Jesus' back-up plan should be to travel to our time. Here, he should set up his own ministry, maybe even have his own television show, and preach his own gospel. It'd be deeply interesting to see how many of today's Christians would turn on him, try to smear his name and have him barred from preaching and, if that didn't work, have him killed. I can see it now. It'd also be interesting to see how many people came to Jesus' way of thinking and became true Christians in total opposition to the Pauline Dominionist Status Quo currently trying to take over the world. Oh, the trouble he'd cause by simply being himself!

Of course I had to make it into an icon too. I love my Smidge.
