He’s saving our souls by not contributing to global warming

You know the expression ‘Jesus Christ On a Bike’! (Is that a colloquialism? Did I dream it? Hang on, google to the rescue… no, it’s for real).

Anyway, I think I saw ‘Jesus Christ On a Bike’ on my way to work this morning! I have to say, compared to his visage in various stained-glass windows and the famous Holman-Hunt print my Gran used to have on her bedroom wall, I think he’s let himself go a bit. The hair was looking quite grey and straggley, although flowing behind him in a very holy way. The white dress has been replaced by jeans and a waterproof jacket (although I was very pleased to see that the ‘jesus’ sandles remain). He was wearing a cycle helmet too, which I thought showed a distinct lack of faith in anything. Nice to know he’s living locally though.

PS
If you think this is blasphemous, please take up your issues with Madonna (as in ‘like a virgin’ not ‘the holy virgin’), as she has excercised far more infuence over me over the years than any religious authority. (This includes my period at La Sainte Union College as a child being taught by student-teacher-nuns).
