Convert to Christianity: A Response

Occasionally the Belief Blog on CNN has an article that has a wider reach than to just the religious. The article on the humor of Jesus is one example.

Amongst the comments I found this ... nugget.

I've maintained as much of the formatting as reasonably possible. Now let me address the bullet-ed points (cute how Convert used little crosses, isn't it?).
