the hunt for the 'historical Jesus'

(Note: neither of these are actual Enquirer covers - I modified them to make a point)

my Jesus

so this is what we wanted

to prove Jesus through our intellect

to show that He met up to our standards

of historical science

we tried to have God on our own terms

then we realized that history is not a science

and neither is science

because we are not scientific

and neither is God

--------------------

but by then it was too late

we already had the Jesus seminar

and the historical Jesus movement

which were essentially glorified predecesors

to the Da Vinci Code

historical fictions

without the history

as if such a history would satisfy our souls

were it even possible

--------------------

we wanted a personal Jesus

no, I wanted a personal Jesus

not you, not we, because there is no 'we'

we, i mean i, cannot prove a 'we'

and yet i write to you who isn't

because i don't know you

scientifically, that is

--------------------

and so i want a personal relationship

with Christ

my Jesus, my way

my documents, my pictures,

my videos

or at mcdonalds

my fries, my drink, my shake

my forbidden fruit

my Jesus, my homeboy

--------------------

maybe if He's really mine

maybe if he's really mine

i don't need him to be Other

after all, i can't prove the Other

scientifically

--------------------

so he is a god, is he?

but he's my god

because i have a personal relationship with him

just me

and i can prove him scientifically

i mean historically

it doesn't really matter

my intellect, my way

he was a man like me

i showed you that

or at least i showed me that

historically

scientifically

--------------------

our stars, our gods

they're not so shiny

they're not so holy

they fall, like you and me

they die, like you and me

he died, like you and me

he fell, like you and me

or like me

i think

because i don't know you

or he

just me

scientifically, that is

--------------------

we're really all the same

if there were a we

because all of you

all of he

is really me

we all fall

i fell

--------------------

maybe we're all gods

maybe i'm a god, i mean

maybe i'm the God

50 cent is my god

because he makes me feel like God

at least he admits he's fallen

the rest i have to drag down

oh, they'll fall eventually, obviously

they'll die

but not fast enough for me

--------------------

the deader they are,

the more alive i feel

the faster they fall,

the more god-like i feel

--------------------

i am what i am

sounds familiar

isn't that from the bible somewhere?

it must've been talking about me

after all, it's only a book

i could write a book

i practically wrote it myself

that's what my history says

--------------------

so i can't get away from you

whoever you is

my fear is that you are

an indication of a He

but maybe if i pretend that

you are not an indication

but He, but he

then i can pretend that i, too

am He, am he

--------------------

then we can rejoice in our humanity

and sing hosannas to ourselves

until we fall, until we die

until i fall, until i die

--------------------

my reoccuring nightmare, though

my only dream

is that when i fall, when i die,

there will be a He

a He that died for my fall

but a He that rose again

historically

scientifically

for me

but...
