Gay bookstore gets letter from Jesus
David Rimmer of After Stonewall says that running a gay bookshop allows him to meet interesting people. But Rimmer recently received a letter from someone a little out of the ordinary: Jesus.

The letter — with no return address — is signed “The Lord Jesus The Christ.” It warns of “The continuing judgment on politicians, bureaucrats, police officers, media and others who facilitate, finance and endorse the sin of homosexuality."

Rimmer put the letter in his window.

The letter condemns gays for mocking the Last Supper. A cheeky parody was part of an Ottawa Wolves gay-friendly rugby team calendar, where the team posed nude in a manner reminiscent of da Vinci’s The Last Supper. Rimmer had it in his window for about two weeks.

Rimmer is not convinced the letter is the authentic word of God. It's more likely a crank, he admits.

“I hate to generalize, but the people who go around writing letters of this nature are obsessive. You have to have problems to waste your time this way,” he says.

1. Jesus sent me a letter once but it was COD and I was too cheap to pay.
That man was so cheap. i mean do you think HE paid for the last supper? No. He stiffed the joint. Stiffed them.

3. David Rimmer?
:rofl:

No way, is that his real name?

Anyone else catch this?

Anyway, I wish I could have seen the whole gay last supper thing. Or should I say "things"? :P

7. I caught that, too.
With a name like that, his destiny was determined at birth.

4. "Pride equals the Pit"
At the link, I found the text of Jesus's letter:

Jesus's letter to After Stonewall

VERBATIM / 'Do not believe the lies of Satan'
Xtra staff / Ottawa / Tuesday, November 09, 2010

Do not deceive yourself. I, Jesus The Christ, the Eternal God, with My Father and with My Spirit, will not be mocked by those who believe the lies of homosexuality. I will not be mocked by those who think My Last Supper is a joke. I don't care who you are or what your so-called laws and policies are, I AM the final word and the Eternal Judge of all that lives and dies. Those who reject Me, also reject My father, the Eternal God, for We are One. Those who continue to sin in homosexuality and their sympathizers will be going to the Pit for Eternity. Judgment is coming to you in this life and the next if you continue in rebellion. I guarantee this, for God does not lie. I want you to read Deuteronomy chapter 28 versus fifteen to sixty-eight. Why? Because that is what is going to happen to you in this life before I sentence you to The Pit for Eternity in the next life. I cannot make this any plainer -- homosexuality is sin. Creation and your existence prove this. Do not believe the lies of Satan. No one is born gay, but rather, become so-called "gay". Do you understand this? If you cannot understand this, it is only because you don't want to understand. Remember, life is very, very short. Remember: Pride equals The Pit. Pride equals The Pit. Pride equals The Pit. Pride equals The Pit. Pride equals The Pit. Pride equals The Pit. Pride equals The Pit.

5. I like what someone said in the comment section:
'The Pit'. Wasn't that a leather and denim bathhouse in Cleveland?

9. You'd think the Eternal God would know how to spell "verses"
So hard to get good deities nowadays.

6. Fraudulent. Jesus only has time for e-mail......
Maybe it was Tucker Carlson, posing as Jesus.
