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.

Obvious innit?

He was a fisherman (i.e. a matelot)

Few female friends.

Hung about with a dozen 'close male friends'.

Died in a bizarre S&M incident like all those gay blokes they find with a rope round their necks and a wedge of orange stuck in their gobs.

I happen to know for a fact that Jesus voted Labour too.

I never knew that Mr Elton Hercules John was a theologian. I suppose that you live and learn.

I can't really see anyone other than certain sky pixie believers being to bothered.

It's ironic in a way. He mourns the fate of Versace and John Lennon then makes exactly the sort of comment that's likely to have a white, God-bothering Supremacist reaching for his 'Gay man's medicine' and loading up the .45s.

I know one bloke, who believes homosexuality to be a curable disease, who will be pacing the floor muttering 'Sodomites! Sodomites!' on reading this.

I'd have been more impressed if Elton had made comments about Mohammed and thereby entered this year's dead pool.

Why? What's wrong with Mohammed...

If they don't get him, Dan Brown will...

Elton John is quite elderly right?

Must be the Alzheimers/crack/blow/poppers/booze/spunk backlog frazzling his brain and making him talk even more horsesh1t (from his horsey toupee?) than usual.

A twenty-five year association with Watford footy club probably didn't do too much for his sanity either.

Makes he rather like various Padres and Priests then (especially Catholic priests when it come to a spunk backlog).

Mohammed wasn't gay - he was a peadophile!

Given that there is no historical evidence that Jesus ever existed Sir Elton deciding that he was gay is as credible as anything else made up about him.

Who's got Buggerall in the dead pool?

Two things though bumming a 9 year old probably wasn't looked on as kiddie fiddling. Up until 1860 the age of consent was 12 in the UK.

I can't remember where I read it but the Romans did record Jesus. (As a troublemaker not a gayer)
