Everyone wants a little attention, get noticed, be the envy of the friends and pride of the family, and nothing gets you there faster than impersonating our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

People love Jesus, especially when he brings the candy and eggs at Easter.
A painting of Jesus presenting the Founding Fathers and fellow Americans past and present with the Constitution is a creative solution to the nagging problem of the separation of church and state, according to a press release someone named Julie sent me.
