What if Jesus IS a Russian vegetarian?
More than 10,000 deeply committed Christians are no longer waiting for the Second Coming -- they believe it's already here.
So where's Jesus? In Siberia. And he's (gasp!) a vegetarian.
From the ABC News story:
Deep in the heart of Siberia's birch forests lies one of the largest and most remote religious communes of the planet. More than 5,000 people have left their families and their homes to move here and join the Church of the Last Testament, which has more than 10,000 followers worldwide. The church centers on one man. He is known simply as Vissarion, meaning "he who gives new life," or simply as the teacher, and he claims that he is Jesus Christ.
And who am I to say he's not?
I just hope this doesn't end up blowing up in the faces of thousands of Russians, like the last time they put their faith in a false prophet...
