I was listening to my favorite radio program the other night, The Phil Hendrie Show, and Phil posited the following: “If the Baby Jesus were alive today, would he have have to ride in a car seat?” There are two aspects to this interesting question: first, would the Baby Jesus be bound by laws requiring his use of a car seat, and second would the Baby Jesus need a car seat to protect himself from harm.
In regard to the first aspect, I think that the Baby Jesus probably would be bound by car seat laws. There is no precedent for a spiritual being beating a traffic ticket by offering “divinity” as a defense. Furthermore, the Baby Jesus allowed himself to be judged pursuant to Roman law during his first visit to the Earth, so I would think he would recognize the laws of the much more legitimate governing bodies of today.
In regard to the second aspect, the Baby Jesus probably wouldn’t need a car seat for personal protection. For one, as the Son of God, he must have something akin to “spidersense” that would allow him to see danger coming and avoid it. Also, I would expect he would have some sort of “magnum” power like Zoolander to prevent objects from hitting him–only on a much greater scale. Finally, even if the Baby Jesus couldn’t stop every projectile hurtling towards him from hitting him, he could simply heal himself or raise himself from the dead. I think the only danger to the Baby Jesus while riding in a car would be if it was foretold that he was to die in a car accident to forgive our sins.

Hey, sportsfans. Meant to finish up “IMW: Unpoofy” this week but will have the final part Monday. Also, I’m finally inspired for another Hate-Filled Lefty comic.
As for the group blogging, I’m really liking how its going and think everyone will find his or her own niche. For those who don’t like it, well, all I can say is, “We’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.” I need to fix up the sidebar and change some of the files so their not so Frank-centric.
Also, I’m thinking of replacing the verbal greeting with a neat jingle. Maybe that will be the next contest: come with a great IMAO jingle for SarahK to sing.
Well, have a great weekend. I’m going shooting. Yee-haw!

Here’s the next part of the continuing adventure of SarahK and me in the amazing U-Haul of pain and tragedy.
