Jesus Photo Jesus Christ died in 33 CE. French physicist Joseph Nicephore Niepce created the first known permanent photograph on metal in 1826 CE. Ergo, there are no photos of the living Jesus. But not when it comes to supernaturalism, especially of the New Age kind. After reading the non-fiction work When Prophecy Fails , I wanted to find out more about the people described in the book. Their names had been changed but with some Googling I discovered that the actual appellation of “Mrs. Marion Keech,” the leader of the doomsday flying saucer cult in the 1950s, was Dorothy Martin. After her prophecies failed in Chicago, Dorothy Martin moved on but kept channeling Jesus Christ – or the being whose real name, she believed, was Sananda. She ended up in South America, living in the Yucatan, with a new name: Sister Thedra. Jesus (AKA the Ascended Master Sananda) appeared to Thedra and cured her of terminal cancer. To prove that she hadn’t been dreaming, Jesus appeared in tangible form

That depends. Do you consider Jesus less geeky? [G]
(Hey, it sures beats his image on a taco or whatever.)

Mac:
Not even. Hey, are you being sarcastic [S] or straightforward [S] with me?
Doug is on the same mind track as I am, more or less. I haven't seen the new Battlestar Galactica (there's only rabbit ears hooked up to my TV).
Of course I just added another entry (I do enjoy puns) above this post in the category of images within images.
Best,
