What's in a name?

| No Comments | No TrackBacks



According to USA Today, a man by the name of Lord Jesus Christ was struck by a car while crossing the street in a crosswalk, in Northampton Massachusetts this past Tuesday, by one Brittany Cantarella.  Never trust a Brittany.

Rest easy, ye faithful. Lord Jesus Christ is 50 years old, from Belchertown, and he's doing fine.   But more to the point - what is it like, to go through life with a name like Lord Jesus Christ?  Is it an assumed name, or did his parents name him that?  Does he get ridiculed, assaulted for being a blasphemer?  Does he have an army of the faithful at his command?  

Some names have a certain gravity - when that gravity is large enough, it can affect not only the named, but also those that veer into the same orbit.  Brittany would have been an ordinary hit and run offender - but now she's the girl that ran over God.  Bit of a cross to bear, no?
