        That Brazilian Church must have been inspired by Jim and Tammy Faye. After all, looking at her mug made me think of Mardi Gras and Halloween all at the same time! Just sayin'...

              But if his followers wanted eternal life, he advised his followers to give away everything to the poor and follow him, it certainly contradicts his teachings. Most of his teaching are in contradiction with his followers, people claimed things that he never claimed, for instance he never claimed to be God but most of the time he claimed to be the son of man but the followers claim that he is God.

                  Oh, no! It is just a lie!

                  I am sure Jesus wants you to drive a donkey!

                  He does not want you drive any Nissan! Nissan is not religion compliant...
