"I'm Jesus. Remember me? I could destroy this entire highway if I wanted to. Don't make me call 10,000 angels. I could do it. It says so in the song! I also own a whole bunch of whippoorwills. Yeah, the bird." -Jesus

From the AP…

DARIEN, Conn. — Police said a naked man yelling that he was ‘Jesus’ was the catalyst for a five-vehicle accident on Interstate 95 North in Darien that injured three people and slowed traffic for nearly six hours. Police Sgt. Jeremiah Marron said officers responded to reports Saturday that a nude male was causing a disturbance on I-95. As police arrived, the man got into a car but police were able to pull the vehicle over.

Police said a tractor-trailer driver then slammed on the brakes to avoid another driver distracted by the highway commotion. The big rig jackknifed, careened into four cars and flipped over.

Rescue workers extricated the driver of the tractor-trailer.

The naked man’s name was not released. It was not immediately known if he was charged.

This news item leaves me with so many questions…

What if it is Jesus? It could be. You don’t know. Was he circumcised? That’s an important detail to know prior to making a claim about whether or not the man IS or ISN’T Jesus.
