    The story is that three Scottish sisters took out a £1 million policy to cover teh cost of raising the second coming of the Christ should one of them undergo immaculate conception. The policy has since been cancelled by the insurance company after about 5 years, following complaints.

    In all seriousness, surely the second coming of the Lord would not need £1million! Jesus preached the importance of spirituality over material wealth so why that much money?

    Do you feel the sisters are deranged? Are they making a mockery of Christ? What about the insurance company?

    Do you think the second coming would be anything like us today (i.e. play X-box games, surf the web) or would s/he display a more 'holy' attitude to life?

    Personally, I think the sisters are not right in the head and show a profound lack of understanding of what Christ was preaching if they feel they need £1 million to raise him as a child.
