I just passed a guy carrying a cross like Jesus on the Naas road, Dublin bound!

Looks like the new Jesus 'reinvented the wheel'

Meh, it's fun to ridicule and all, but all I want is to know what yer man's up to?

Where's Paddy O'Gorman? He'd get the story out of him.

I'm sure Jesus would be glad to see people weren't focusing too much on all that "love one another, be charitable" stuff, and were instead performing meaningless acts that do no good to anyone using a replica of the object he died on.

Good to see some people have their priorities straight.

I'm not going to debate the merits or lack of merits of what he is doing

but in fairness it does seem to get peoples attention.....perhaps hes raising awareness..........................of something...an explanatory plaque or tabard would be helpful

Or at least wipe his face with a damp cloth.

He said he was ok, then he complimented me on my jeep, I told him it was a grand yoke to drive, but with vrt, diesel, etc I get hammered with tax every year..............................................................................

next thing I know he fcuking legged it!

aujopimur · 15-08-2011 02:29PM

Is he a former banker/property developer by any chance?.

chin_grin · 15-08-2011 02:29PM

I would've handed him a bottle of water asking "Here, give me some Chatneuf Du Pape."

WoollyRedHat · 15-08-2011 02:32PM

**** your honda civic, I've got a cross outside

it doesn't work that way...you would have at least had to be related and at a wedding

it would be really modern day if you pulled up in some w#ankery Porsche and demanded a 64 Bollinger......................before bursting into flames or something

He was spotted in Carlow the other day. He's looking for redemption or something apparently.

LOL! Do you really think a man carrying a cross with a wheel wants to hear about your tax?

:D:D:D

i wonder what his destination is? Donegal?

He seems to have the technique nailed. I guess he's setting out to challenge the social stigmata surrounding the practice.

chin_grin · 15-08-2011 02:35PM

Hide yo kids, hide yo wife. New-Jesus be rapin' eh-body up in this place.

He'll find redemption a lot quicker if he ditches the cross, it's bound to be slowing him down!!:D

Aldebaran · 15-08-2011 02:38PM

I bet Jesus is kickin' himself now, "A wheel! Why didn't I think of that!?"

15-08-2011 02:39PM

Looks like the world's most uncomfortable unicycle ever!

That's true, but I think the only people who'd respond positively to it would be people who're religious anyway.

I just think if he wants to preach Jesus' teachings (and though I'm not religious the basic message is a good one) he'd be better off practising them. It'd be more likely to convince people who're skeptical or non-practising Catholics, and showing the caring side of Christianity would help to counter the negative press caused by the way the Church has behaved.

Though granted, going around doing good deeds and being charitable might not attract enough attention to get a thread on AH!
