The mailbag has been resurrected! This is our third edition to date and it promises to be just as entertaining if not less entertaining than previous ‘bags. (Compare for yourself by reading Mailbag #1 and Mailbag #2).

Thanks to disciple Ian, whose picture (at right) inspired me to dump out the mailbag and sift through the massive pile of Jesus of the Week correspondence for the first time in more than a year. Of course, it’s really just an e-mail inbox and I’m actually only clicking keys.

Behold! (Click, click.)

Discovered your site by accident. Hilarious. What does it prove? Christ will endure forever. He can withstand anything. Ah, what a brave new world we live in that hath such humor in it. But the Lord is merciful, and He endures forever. Thanks for the laughs, Anne Rice. February 27, 2005.

Are you for serious? Anne Rice wrote that to me? I can die now.

May your life of mocking my name be a successful and pleasurable experience. I will see you soon. You and the generation after you will be condemned to the deepest demise of hell. The second coming will take place in the year 2015. You will forget this post and remember me on that day. May your child rot in your arms. She has been noted as the daughter of an antichrist. Repent your ways, take down this site. Your anger at your God is noted. I don't see you or your evil ways. I have forgotten you, until you return. Work to redeem your soul. You will burn in hell, as sure as I am walking, living and breathing on this planet. I am here.  I am 20 years of age in this moment. I will bring your judgment soon. Be aware of the wrath of God. The Son, the Holy Spirit and my Father. We are united as one. We are individual, with our own bodies and distinguishes. I am your maker. Like you in appearance. Not in your evil ways. You have been marked. See you soon.
Good day

Are your seriously for serious? Jesus wrote to me, too? He’s not quite as eloquent and succinct – OR POLITE – as Anne Rice, but I’ll take what I can get.

Marry me. I love this site. Brilliant humor. Do not stop this marvelous quest.

Sista K, I am already taken – by the Lord’s brilliance.

Would you let someone kill you for a friend? I mean, I know I probably wouldn't, but Jesus let people kill him the way they kill only the worst criminals... so that you and me and everyone else in the world... has an opportunity to go to Heaven and live it up after you die. That's pretty effin' sweet if you ask me. And ya know what? He loves you. More than anyone else. Simon and Garfunkel really were right when they told Mrs. Robinson that Jesus loved her more than she could ever know. I just wanted to let you know that. And that even though I don't know you, I want to pray for you.... because Jesus is like pot; cuz before you do it, you think it's stupid... but then once you light up a j you realize it's pretty rad.

Words of wisdom from another doobie-smoking, simile-spittin’ Christian.

Regarding “Clothes Pin Cross” (www.jesusoftheweek.com/jesii/346):
I can't believe you didn't take the opportunity to say "Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again!"

Believe it, sister. I blow fantastic joke opportunities all the time. They can’t all be home runs.

I don't have a Jesus to submit, but this was the only link I could find to contact you. This website is hilarious. I'm a Christian, and I believe God has a sense of humor. You never seem to quite go "too far," although you come close. To the Christian who wrote to tell you how disgusting you are... come on. Among all the other things he was, Jesus was a comedian. The language of the Bible doesn't really get it across to most people today, but Jesus often used humor in his messages. Get over it. This website is hardly blasphemous.

Yes, our fondness for comedian-carpenters began with Jesus Christ, peaked with Tim Allen circa the Home Improvement heyday, and has now sort of ebbed with Richard Karn, who played Tim’s sidekick Al and now hosts Family Feud.

I thought this was a Christian site. But I was wrong. How can you make fun of Jesus when he was beaten and scorned but still walked up that dark hill called Calvary to die on the cross for not only my sins but yours also? I'm not condemning you because God is the only judge, but before you print another joke, pic or anything else, pick up the King James Version of the Holy Bible and read it. The end of time is coming and you don’t want to be left here during tribulation.
