Hi! I’m Baby Jesus. Hope you enjoy my blog!

A new batch of shepherds showed up. I’m liveblogging it. 3:22 Bowing. 3:23 Kneeling.

8:44 I’ve had to turn off this blog’s comments feature—some of the stuff was really getting personal. (Yes, I’m talking to you, JesusSucks.)

I’m sorry about the brightness of the star over my manger—but it’s an essential part of the overall effect. It wouldn’t be much of a “star of wonder” if shepherds had to stand around debating which one it was, would it? Sorry you walked all the way to Sidon because you followed the wrong star, Wise Men, but Almighty God had to respect municipal bylaws relating to light pollution. Jesus!

Oh, great, you’ve made me take me in vain. Thanks a lot.

Also, an important note: while yes, technically speaking, I am responsible for all these shepherds wandering into town, that does not mean I have to cover their bar tabs.

9:17 Just talked to the Holy Father. Asked if there’s a different species I could be redeeming. He’s going to get back to me after he predetermines the outcome of today’s chariot race.

    What possessed the magazine to post the Compassion Canada ad next to Scott F’s adolescent article?
    Sheer thoughtlessness…but if intentional, cruelness.
    This is not National Lampoon!

    I’m a devout Christian, and because of that if I were reading this to a church group, I’d leave out a couple lines. That said, I found most of it hilarious and was laughing out loud reading this at a magazine stand. Excellent satire, Mr. Feschuk!

    But I construed it as satire not of Christ himself but of some Western-Christian sensibilities. I’m *always* down for some satire on *that* front, that’s for sure.

  • Jesus Christ (isa Islam)

    Islam is the answer and it is not easy to find me. God protects me from people and there evil plans. Indeed God is with me. You will never be able to find me unless I show up myself in front of people and which will only happen with the will of God. I won’t expose myself unless God allows me to.

    If you will read Quran, You will really find me right after you are done reading all of it.

    I’m very religious. In fact I just got off the phone with Jesus. He says this piece was a hoot and a kick in the ass of self-righteousness and hypocrisy. Jesus really hates hypocrisy.

    Yet he told me to ask you if you’d consider switching religions.

    I don’t think this is “ridicule” for Jesus’ birth. I think it is just a slightly humorous perspective on a baby living through the events described in the Bible (and popular culture like “The Little Drummer Boy”). It’s more of a statement about today’s ephemeral culture. I mean really, who has as fun and interesting a life as the one described on their FaceBook page?

    If you’re offended by this, stop reading it, but don’t go criticizing the author or those who find it funny.

    Oh God (ummm…I mean “Hi there! May have an autograph “?). Your blog is simply heavenly and too, too funny. I always new creation (specifically mine), showed God had a ripped sense of humor). Wish I had found your blog at Christmas when it really would have helped , Perhaps if I had prayed ???

    Hello Scott Feschuk,

    I love your work!! Does that give me permission to correct your use of English? If not, read no further.

    You used the phrase, “try and sell”. That’s incorrect; it should be, “try to sell”. Almost every time we use the word ‘try’ it ought to be followed by “to”, as in, “try to find”.

    ‘and’ can only be used where each word can stand on its own in the sentence, such as, “shot and killed”.

    Thanks.

    It is funny. Lighten up everyone. It is not making fun at Christianity or Jesus – read it again without your cynicism turned on :)
    Laughing at ourselves is healthy. Of course that is just my opinion.
