There are some revelations, whether true or false, that can have the world trembling in its boots. I remember when the Himalayas became the Him-are-ly-as, and Lichen became Ly-can.
Another such bombshell is the recent revelation that Jesus wasn't called Jesus at all.
It seems that not only was the name not used at his supposed date of birth, but certain letters in the name 'Jesus' didn't even exist in the Aramaic alphabet.
Clever researchers have now decided that he was actually called the equivalent of Joseph, which at the time was Yeshu (which sounds a bit like Jesus). And that his family name would have suggested his place of birth; i.e. Nazareth,
So there we have it. They've been barking up the wrong tree all this time, and they should have been worshiping someone called Yeshu Nazareen.
Now that 'Christianity' is no longer valid, I suppose their religion will have to change to Yeshuanity, and shouting "Oh, for Christ's sake" at someone will now become "Oh, for Yeshu's sake".
This must herald the start of a whole new era of Yeshuanity. Christmas will become Yeshumas, and Christians will soon become known as Yeshuans.
Don't give-up your day job! Amen.

The Spanish may be okay as they call him Hesus. An odd lot are the Spaniards.
I don't know if God reads "Magnon's Meanderings" but if he does you are about to feel his wrath! Perhaps he will turn you into a Fray Bentos pie... or maybe a pudding!
As the Spaniards are mostly Catholics, I wonder what they'll make of Mary being now called Mari-lou?
It's the 'clever' people he needs to have words with; I'm not a member of his club!
In Greek he's Yesous. Or Yesous. No 'sh' in Greek. Everything began in Greece. On the first day.....
These 'clever researchers' are a strange bunch. Next they'll be telling us that 'Yeshu' was Greek.
Yesus
Of course he was! His father's cousin's son studied with Socrates!
Ah, the magic man in the sky.
The 'newly named' magic man.
Apparently he visited England too, with an uncle.
So, this is the latest and greatest thinking!
Why not? It probably pleases someone.
Oh, I missed this latest revelation.
What's next on the agenda?
Some 'boffins' have nothing better to do.
I'll let you know, no doubt they're already plotting something.
