Jesus on Trial

An Italian court judge set to rule whether Jesus Christ existed or not. ................................................................. .... This is no bosh shot. Jesus Christ has "appeared" in court for trial. This controversial man has refused to exit the news headlines. It is either that he was born December 25 or not. Or that he performed miracles or not. It has also been argued as to whether he resurrected or not. Is he God or the son of God? Is it true that his mother, Mary, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, without conjugation? You decide! A church priest even labeled him a "hypocrite" and "trickster." Presently, the focus is on whether Jesus was a fictional, or non-fictional, character. Now, listen up: A court judge has been saddled with the responsibility to decide if the man who died about two hundred years ago ever existed, or set foot, on earth. Moreover, the scene of this drama is Italy, the home of Roman Catholic Church, the most populous religion in the world. And this church is headed by the pope, the veritable Vicar of Christ who never lived! (Play me Sitting on Edge.) At his trial before High Priest Joseph Caiaphas and Governor Pontius Pilate when he was alive, Christ had no attorneys. But in this celebrated case, lawyers on both sides are busy marshalling arguments in court as to whether he lived or not, before bemused onlookers. (Trust the learned men in wigs and gowns.) But how did it all begin?
