You've all seen this page before, but this time it's not about the fact that Jesus has a personals ad online. It's that the guy behind the site is a serious nutjob.
His AIM screen name is available on the website, so I've had a few words with him over the last few months. Tonight was the winning conversation, though. I asked him if he planned to see "The Passion of the Christ," since anyone who goes to such trouble to make fun of Jesus is bound to have an opinion on the topic...
And he called me a "******brained jew" for admitting that I enjoy watching movies. He shortly revealed himself as one of the most pretentious, closed-minded people I have ever met. He told me that entertainment of any form is "anti-natural," and"anti-civilization," which he calls "jewish values." The things that really matter, apparently, are civilization and heritage, meaning art as long as it doesn't entertain you ("anyone who is entertained by Mozart doesn't understand it"), literature as long as it agrees with his opinions, and history as long as it glorifies his own ideals. To justify his judgment of what constitutes a noble life, the most recent literary example he could provide was Marcus Aurelius, which (while a fine historical source) hardly justifies his "I'm right and fuck all else" attitude.
Now, there are a few aspects of "Jesus's" life that are admirable (particularly to a Satanist), and I'm all for personal preferences, but once he started calling me a Jew and told me explicitly that I am a sheep because Mozart entertains me it was obvious that this guy was way over the line between eccentric and fucked up.
