Jesus saves
 

So, is Jesus the awesomest player on L@TB or what?
It is so fun to watch that guy play poker. Is there a Jesus fan club?

Yeah, and the president of it gets a cool hat.

He's obviously never met the guy in person either.

G-d forbid someone should be outspoken in their atheist beliefs! They might even try to convert someone!

I take it you've never had a nickname?

you can't shake it, ever. And I have a feeling that once you become a pop culture icon under that nickname it gets a liiiiitle harder [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I'm sure he didn't ask to be called jesus, and I'm sure his nickname was nearly set in stone before the poker boom and before being "Jesus" made him a dollar

Also, his nickname is Jesus because he looks like the COMMERCIALIZED portrait of Jesus that is almost guarenteed to not be an accurate portrayal. And you give him flack because he's selling an image of Jesus that was created for commercial purposes in the first place? Iiiiiirony [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Jesus saves
 

i have had 2 different nicknames in my life. i shook both of them thru persistence. i would tell people my nickname and say "but i don't answer to that". his nickname set in stone? did you ever hear the story of cassius clay and muhammed ali? he did it and he wasn't the towering intellect that chris is. irony? hardly. a pair of scissors and a good stylist (very little hair removal) would do the job. face it, chris loves being an agent provacteur---how better than to be an atheist and answer to jesus. he's a ham, c'mon...................b

no............................b

Re: Jesus saves
 

the necessity of meeting the guy in person is a big red herring----you know that , or should. i think it's great that chris is outspoken in his beliefs---more people should make it clear where they stand. next? he may bring someone around to his way of thinking.....so what? the fact that he is an unprincipled attention seeker is a different issue.....................b
