'Jesus' Kicked Out of Church.

[4Drea]

'Jesus' wasn't just kicked out of church, ya know, 'can you leave' he was forcefully removed by the police!

 

Neil Thompson dresses up like Jesus and goes to a new church every week to spread his Christian message.

 

But when he got to St Paul's Church in St Louis, Missouri, police were called and he was asked to leave.

 

"One of the deacons saw me," he said, "and when I went in the church he met me and he said, 'Can I help you? What do you want?' I said, 'I want to go to church here today'."

 

Mr Thompson said he was not allowed in the sanctuary. Church members told him he would have to sit in the hallway.

 

"And I said: 'Well this ain't right, you guys ain't treating me right'. He said: 'We're gonna call the police'. I said: 'Well call them, I don't care. Call them'.

"So I sat down and the next thing I know four or five police showed up."

 

Police say Mr Thompson will not face charges. He wasn't causing a scene, but they asked him to leave and he did.

 

Now you would think that a church is the last place a man dressed up as Jesus would get kicked out of... Its a church! i didn't even think that a church COULD turn ANYONE away... geez

i would be very very offended,... It is church everyone should be able to go to church...

Maybe that church took it offensively?

This is kind of ridiculous! If he wasn't doing anything wrong why did he get kicked out of church?!!!

wow i cant believe a church turned away a guy dressed like jesus especially when he wasnt doing anything wrong.

[8TaylorS]

i dont see anything wrong with going to church dressed as jesus. personally, i wouldnt do that. but as christians, they should have known better than to throw someone out of the church who wasnt causing harm. churches were made to spread the word of the lord. Last time I checked, the lord preached against prejudice.

wow that is a little to much to call in a person who was simply going to different churches speaking his word in a jesus costum. This really makes the church look bad and is not right. The church should never turn anyone away.

i can understand why the church was upset with him if he actually referred to himself as Jesus. but otherwise it's fine

[4 Nick]

i thought you couldnt kick someone out unless they were causing a problem..

[3Dejanira]

wow i didnt either thats so funny especially if hes dressed up at jesus

[3chelsea]

Hahah! This reminds me of something I heard on Z-92 when I was going to school one day. A guy named Jesus Christ got banned from the library. He dressed up like a woman and would butt in line and talk loudly and a lot. And they had never banned anyone before :P
