I found this "worrisome" news on the internet. :)

Vatican: Jesus was the original tweeter

Jack Dorsey, step aside -- you may be Twitter's first registered user (and hey, founder), but in the eyes of the Vatican, Jesus Christ is the original tweeter.

“Christ used tweets before everyone else, with elementary phrases made up of fewer than 45 characters like 'Love one another,'" said Vatican cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi to a group of Italian newspaper editors Wednesday. "A bit like in television today, he delivered a message through a story or a symbol."

There you go. Jesus knew modern social media more than 2000 years ago. You must read his tweets to live a good and happy life and life hereafter.

Update: Some tweets from Jesus that you must pay attention to. Otherwise you're doomed. -:)

Jesus: Convert, for the kingdom of heaven is near! (Mt 4:17)

Jesus: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind. Love your neighbour as yourself (Mt 22:37,39)

Jesus: Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, to God what is God's (Mt 22:21)

Jesus Christ and Prejudice

We in the West think that Jesus Christ had blond long hair and deep blue eyes. However, he was born in an area where people can be of very dark colour, especially 2000 years ago when different races were not so mixed. What if he was black with black eyes and black curly hair? Would he be allowed to immigrate to the US and for that matter to Canada? Would he be allowed in some all-white churches in the southern part of the US or would he be turned down? Would David Duke renounce him and segregate him? We are such creatures of beliefs and habits. And if someone tells us about the major falsehood in our beliefs we go ballistic and accuse that someone of blasphemy. We, as humans, commit horrific crimes based on those false beliefs.

The idea for this picture came to me after I saw the cartoon which was published in the New York Post showing two white policemen shooting a monkey dead. Only if we realize the falsehood of our beliefs, then maybe we will be living in a more peaceful world. The irony of all this is that all these prophets did not teach prejudice or hatred. So can we find a true believer anywhere in any religion. Fanatics yes, but true believers are hard to come by because that will be too much hard work and we will have to renounce most of our beliefs including prejudice i.e. all were created equal but some (we, whosoever that we may be) are more equal than others.
