Oh, for the love of God...

I love this headline:

(Lord Jesus Christ cast out of Belchertown library for bad behavior)

The story is about a chap who says he was banned from the local library because he's black and transsexual. Oh, his name actually is Lord Jesus Christ. He changed it a few years back because God told him to.

Christ on a candlestick!

To be sure, the whole transsexual thing makes the pronoun issue a tad difficult; I don't see any evidence that he prefers a feminine pronoun. Besides, he says he represents both genders.

Anyway, the local library says they banned him because he was ill-behaved and rude. They say they consulted the local police chief and legal counsel before banning him; he had received some warnings about his behavior. (I wonder if he perceived them as official warnings?) Mr Christ says he's hired a lawyer and is suing the library for discrimination.

Sure is a good headline, though! :-)
