The disciples of Jesus were fishermen and common folk you uppity cunts.

True.
But Jesus chose them for that reason. James and John were also uppity cunts.

Yes...
that's true, but as has been pointed out, Paul (or the Disciple Formely Known As Saul) was a tax collector who was romanised (middle-class).

Also, Jesus was basically a new-age traveller with ideas above his station, hence his being nailed to a tree. I think that maybe we should bring that back, as it certainly stopped the next bunch of uppity gypoes breaking into the church and vandalising it. Think about the story of the moneylenders - a legal and legitimate business activity was attacked by a bunch of unwashed hippies because they were against the system and we're supposed to take this as a good/i thing?
If you want a good idea of what Jesus was really like, try reading the Simon Scarrow book "The Eagle In The Sand" - it tells the tale from the Roman perspective...

ooh! ooh! I get it!
Yeah, and Gandalf was helped by a bunch of hobbits and they saved the world too and stuff! AND they were pretty common, all that smoking and hanging out drinking under the party tree!

Yeah! just like jebus!

[EDIT: Points were awarded, in the form of little clickettes, for the use of the words 'jesus' and 'cunts' in the same sentence! Bravo!]
