An Unabridged Interview With Jesus
I’m conducting an interview for a book with a person who remembers the life of Jesus. If you were to take part in the interview, what would your question or questions be?
Now’s your chance, folks — if you were to interview someone who remembers the life of Jesus, what would you ask them?
[Thanks for the submission, Catherine!]
I’d totally want to know how old the interviewee is! I’d also want to know what he/she did to stay alive so long! He/She could know the secret to curing all our modern day health problems! SWEET!
Haven’t you read the Bible? People used to live for a friggin’ long time before they started makin’ sins an’ stuff. This person must be extra devout.
My questions: Which part am I to be take? The part of the interviewee? If so, then why would the interviewee be asking questions? The interviewer? If so, then why are you asking me to write your book? Or are you interviewing the book? Or are you and the person who remembers Jesus co-interviewers?
In which case, he/she would have way better questions than you, so you should just give up now.
I’m with Manda. My first thought was “ooooh,I really want to meet this 2000 year old person!” I would have all sorts of questions. However, I don’t think that the author of the ad would like me as only a very small percentage of those questions would have to do with Jesus.
“Jesus, tell me, what’s up with all those crazy people on CL?”
I’d ask him what his real name was.
Ignoring the post and the ridiculousness altogether, I think it would be really fun to ask Jesus.
I’d like to believe i’d be able to ask the tough questions.
I wonder if Jesus would get angry over any questions.
Whats wrong Jesus? Dont like the idea of being judged?
Checkmate. Me.
Maybe they meant Jesus Padilla.

“Can I have some of what you’re smoking?”
“Hey, Jesus… I don’t want to hash your mellow here, but there’s a question that a lot of people have been asking in regards to your teachings… how come you never denounced slavery? I mean, that whole thing was a huge deal, and a word from the J-man would have been helpful.”
“Jesus, there’s one big question that everybody seems to be asking. It’s on T-shirts, bracelets, hats, even bumper stickers. Now’s my chance to get a definitive answer, to shut up all of humanity. So, would you mind telling me exactly…..what *would* Jesus do?”
Aw, I came here to say that, but you beat me to it!
“Don’t you feel just a wee bit guilty taking advantage of this delusional crackpot who actually believes you remember the life of Jesus? No? Oh, well carry on, then.”
I had a hard time figuring out what the ad was trying to say as well. I think I get it now, though: the writer of the ad actually KNOWS someone who remembers the life of Jesus; the writer wants to interview this person and use the answers in a book, but lacks the wherewithal to come up with decent questions. Therefore, he or she is soliciting questions from Craigslist readers.
I *think* he’s writing a novel set in early Christian times where a reporter is interviewing someone who knew Jesus. He’s trying to figure out what the interviewer should ask.
If so, not only is the listing badly worded but it’s a dumb idea: what someone living in 2009 would ask Jesus is radically different from what someone in AD 80 would ask him for a thousand different reasons.
Is Carl Reiner interviewing Mel Brooks again?
“Where are my keys?”
My questions to Jesus:
What is your favourite religion, other than yours?
Why are you white?
These are great questions!
