From Dan Negreanu's website. Allegations of blasphemy or not? What do you think?

"Well, I'm not so sure about that. First of all Barry doesn't believe in Heaven, Hell, or God for that matter. He is a proud atheist along with Chris Ferguson. Both men mocking the idea that there is a God claiming that there is no contemporary evidence to prove Jesus' existence.

I remember talking to Chris Ferguson about it one night and he looked at me like I was delusional. I was trying to explain to him that calling himself Jesus, especially considering his beliefs, is very offensive to the majority of this country."

I think Mr. Negreanu overstates his case. While it's no doubt true that Chris Ferguson's nickname is offensive to some Americans, to say that it's "very" offensive to the "majority" is probably going too far.
