The Passion of Bruce
Imagine If Lenny Bruce Had Lived To See "THE PASSION"!

Imagine if Lenny Bruce had lived to see "THE PASSION"! Here are some of his thoughts from the 1960s:

"A lot of people say to me, 'Why did you kill Christ?'
"I dunno! It was one of those parties that got out of hand, you know."
"We killed him because he didn't want to become a doctor! That's why we killed him."
"Now a Jew, in the dictionary, is one who is descended from the ancient tribes of Judea, or one who is regarded as descended from that tribe.
That's what it says in the dictionary; but you and I know what a Jew is!
One Who Killed Our Lord!
And although there should be a statute of limitations for that crime, it seems that those who neither have the actions nor the gait of Christians, pagan or not, will bust us out, unrelenting dues, for another deuce." [2000 years]

If Jesus had been killed twenty years ago, Catholic school children would be wearing little electric chairs around their necks instead of crosses."
