"Jesus, why couldn't you have been a podiatrist?"
"I love you Ma, but we've been over this. I had a job to do."
"Well, couldn't you have been the Savior AND a podiatrist?"
"Ma, rescuing the world from sin and death is a full-time job."
"I should say so, bubbeleh! You didn't even take time to eat!"
On the upside, in heaven you never run out of knishes and schmaltz.
In all seriousness, what did you, Prod, think of Maya Morgenstern's portrayal of Mary in The Passion of the Christ? A very human Mary she was, and heartbreaking.
He could also dance the Polka if He so wished. He could write comic strips for an eternity. It doesn't mean He does or will. He, ALONE, is seated at the right hand of God. He, ALONE, is the Mediator. He, AlONE, interceds for believers on earth.

...She was superb. Being Jewish helped her immensely in her stunning portrayal of Mary, the sinless blessed mother of Our Lord. As I understand it, Maya Morgenstern had a seminal creative impact on Gibson and his company in the creation of the Passion of the Christ, e.g., the incredible scene where the Theotokos gathers the Precious Blood of Christ with her hair, while Jesus is imprisoned below. It is a foreshadowing of Mary's role as intercessor for all mankind - "die Vrouwe van aller Volkerung" after the famous Dutch painting of that name. Christians owe massive respect to Maya Morgenstern for all this. I'm sure that Mel does.
