Sir Elton John says Jesus was super-intelligent gay man

Sir Elton John has claimed Jesus was a "super-intelligent gay man" in an interview with a US magazine.

The singer also told Parade Jesus was "compassionate", forgiving and "understood human problems".

A spokesman for the Church of England said: "Sir Elton's reflection that Jesus calls us all to love and forgive is one shared by all Christians."

"But insights into aspects of the historic person of Jesus are perhaps best left to the academics," he added.

Sir Elton said in the interview: "On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving.

"I don't know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East - you're as good as dead," he added.

In the interview, the singer also said he did not like being a celebrity any more because "fame attracts lunatics".

"Princess Diana, Gianni Versace, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, all dead. Two of them shot outside their houses. None of this would have happened if they hadn't been famous. I never had a bodyguard, ever, until Gianni died," he said.

The full interview will be published on Parade's website on Friday.

Didn't Elton John deny he was gay for quite a while?

Not that it ever fooled anybody - of course.

Levon wears his war wound like a crown
He calls his child Jesus
`Cause he likes the name
And he sends him to the finest school in town

.....

Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
His family business thrives
Jesus blows up balloons all day
Sits on the porch swing watching them fly

And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
Leaving Levon far behind
Take a balloon and go sailing
While Levon, Levon slowly dies

I suppose it will come up that Jesus allegedly never married and hung out with 12 men, that Martha and Mary were perfectly comfortable having him in their home without getting a reputation.

I find that Jesus is whatever the worshippers want him to be. It's no surprise as it has always been that way. Maybe it should be that way. Maybe Jesus was "created" to be what men needed him to be.

Gay or not, none of Jesus's pop songs hit the top 10

Thanks for posting Gerard. I found the article interesting.

Sir Elton says he is disillusioned with fame Anyhow, strange response from the Church Of England "But insights into aspects of the historic person of Jesus are perhaps best left to the academics," he added. I guess they wanted to side step John's claim of Jesus being homosexual. Blessings, Stephen

He was big time when he came out. When the gay rumors started it was denied, because it was very different then. The girls were crushed when it finally was revealed to be true.
