re: #27 Standard, Yet Pretty

Of course, the Communist party here tries to appropriate Jesus too - he was the first Communist, don’t you know.

Remember that Bulgakov’s 1920’s masterpiece “The Master and Margarita” also goes on at length about the story of Jesus and his crucifixion.

My favorite scene is still when Jesus tries to explain to Pilate how that Matthew Levite fellow keeps following him around, writing things down on a goatskin, and that Jesus had a look at the goatskin and said “Matthew, you’re getting it all wrong! Just burn the goatskin and listen to what I say!”
