Police surround bloody "Jesus" showering at health club

Police surrounded a health club on Tuesday evening after a frightened employee reported that a bearded man who appeared to be covered in blood had entered the club to use the facility's showers.

It turned out that man was Lee Backhaus of Alexandria who had just played "Jesus" in the annual Passion Drama presented by Zion Lutheran Church and Good Shepherd Lutheran in Alexandria, Minnesota.



Three Alexandria police officers responded to Racquetball Plus Fitness Center on Tuesday, March 30th, on a report of a suspicious male with dark hair, bearded and bleeding. The caller had stated the suspicious man walked down to the showers.

Upon arrival, Backhaus informed police he is actually a member of the club and was taking a shower after playing "Jesus" in Zion Lutheran's annual Easter Passion Drama. He also told police he had informed Racquetball Plus' management he would be using the club's showers following the conclusion of the Passion Drama. When police realized the circumstances of the incident, they left the scene.

Poor Jesus if the real man ever returns to this planet- He will be arrested on sight and most likely slammed into the Madhouse before he even could prove that he truly  is the Son of God and has come to rescue us. "Yeah yeah- sure- Here's your straightjacket and a tranquilizer and after a friendly docter will have had a good talk with you, you'll have to appear in court for walking in unappropriate attire, for threatening local peace, for false impersonating and for not being able to provide legal proof of identity."

Poor Jesus...

If Jesus returned to this planet, he would be black and have a soulfull guitar.

Passion plays are weird, period.

Why are Christians so obsessed with the gory end of Jesus?
