Country music star sings about Beer With Jesus on Fox News
I like this title, Beer With Jesus, Fox & Friends host Gretchen Carlson told Rhett. What is it about?
As it turns out, Beer With Jesus is about having a brewski with the Christian savior, Jesus of Nazareth.
If I could have a beer with Jesus / Heaven knows Id sip it nice and slow / Id try to pick a place that aint too crowded / Or gladly go wherever he wants to go, Rhett sings.
You can bet Id order up a couple tall ones / Tell the waitress put em on my tab / Id be sure to let him do the talkin / Careful when I got the chance to ask, the song continues.
He can probably only stay, for just a couple rounds, the song concludes. But I hope and pray hes stayin till we shut the whole place down.
. . . oh, my.

(13,081 posts)There's not that many safe establishments for a long-haired man who wears sandals and a dress. This is not an indictment of him or his wardrobe, but if we go to a more friendly place, I'll have to walk further to get home. And that's assuming the bartender doesn't assume he's a homeless street preacher and throw his out immediately.
What could we talk about? I speak neither Aramaic nor Hebrew (although I can cuss in Yiddish fairly fluently).
Assuming he could speak English, what would we talk about? Same old stories, that's what.
"Did you hear about the time I TOTALLY resurrected that one dude?"
"Yes, Jesus, about a million times."
"Well I'm gonna tell it anyway, 'cause maybe not everyone has heard it before. Okay, there was this dude named Lazarus. Not the demon-possessed Lazarus, but another dude with the same name..."
Does he have his green card? Is he even allowed to be in this country legally? Could I get arrested for harboring an illegal alien? Is that arrest warrant for him in Rome still valid?
He turned water into wine, not beer. That means we'd have to pay for the beer, and I've read the Bible: that guy never paid for jack squat (hence Judas's dalliance with a 20-silvers-an-hour side job), which means I'd get stuck with the tab. I would consider tipping in shekels, though.

Down at the local gym
We'd drink them then go bench press
He'd spot me, and I would spot him
THAT'S as good as any country music song these days. Where's my fuckin' CMA?

(27,787 posts)I mean sure, Jesus could be an "I love you man!" drunk. Hugging folks and curing their illnesses.
But what if Jesus is an angry drunk?
Pillars of fire? Bowling ball sized Hail? A Mini-rapture?
Sounds kind of risky.
