The right to identify as Jesus Christ?

So it seems a woman has brought a claim, under the name of "The Lord Jesus Christ", that she had been wrongly named, that she was reborn of water and spirit from the living god of Jesus Christ and sought relief, relating to the name on her birth certificate and registration of her birth: www.rollonfriday.com/news-content/court-threatens-restraint-order-against-woman-who-changed-her-name-jesus-christ
Seems fair enough - self-id and all that!

Usually that kind of behaviour gets you sectioned under the Mental Health Act.

👏👏👏

I don't know why they won't respect Jesus's lived experience and authentic self.

JellySaurus · 11/11/2022 18:31

Yet insisting that you were not born the sex you are - is not.

The courts are bigots

PEOPLE ARE WHO THEY SAY THEY ARE

titchy · 11/11/2022 18:34

Bigots. Not all Messiahs are born in stables you know.

Caaarrrl · 11/11/2022 18:58

It's as believable as self identifying one's 'gender'.

Batshit
Someone call the men in white coats

quantumbutterfly · 12/11/2022 10:32

but what about clownfish?

I heard this is a common situation with ppl suffering PDs and Squizophenia (I can’t remember the most Pc name nowadays, so apologies in advance).
I did met a man early 30s he was also iding as Jesus. He was on meds.

David Ike was ridiculed - he should have bided his time.

GrumpyPanda · 12/11/2022 10:46

Would this be the same individual currently running a blue-ticked Twitter account called "Jesus Christ"?

Love the way the Court documents say 'Jesus H (for Hargreaves) Christ' 🤣🤣

Surely her identity should be respected and we should all be forced to worship her (or possibly crucify).

Though joking aside, yes she could well be ill. Hope she gets appropriate treatment and recovers

Our late friend had bipolar disorder and identified as JC right down to inflicting stigmata in a manic episode.

One psychiatrist said he was still mentally competent. A few of them are nuttier than the patients tbh.

The moral of the story is: when people self-identity as anything other than they actually are, we should be wary that all is not well mentally speaking.

Can she turn water into wine?

What about Jewish people - should they be forced to worship her, too?

(Yes, I understand that you are being cynically lighthearted!)

Apparently the whole water into wine thing is a Roman party trick. You can pour wine or water or a mixture from the same jug to entertain your guests. The inventor was Heno of Alexandria.

IncompleteSenten · 12/11/2022 11:51

Fair enough.

Either what you feel you are is reality simply because you say it is.

Or it's not.

People can't pick and choose.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 12/11/2022 11:51

That's worse than finding out that Father Christmas isn't real.

Igmum · 12/11/2022 13:21

Jellysaurus surely anything else would be Jesus phobic? In identity politics no one is allowed agency over their own faith, opinions or speech

ArabellaScott · 12/11/2022 13:30

I am now considering who I will ID as once the ScotGov brings in self ID.

Quite fancy being Oscar Wilde for a bit.

I mean, I deeply identify as Oscar Wilde.

JaneJeffer · 12/11/2022 13:42

Who do you say that I am?

Brokendaughter · 12/11/2022 13:49

If that's true, I've decided to identify as J.K.Rowling.
I'm sure she'll issue me a credit card on her account any day now.

I fancy going on a shopping spree & my stupid old dead identity from this morning just doesn't have the spending power I really feel should belong to me.

I mean, if you are going to be able to identify as people who already exist (or existed), then they should be happy to budge over & let you have yours, right?

Whatwouldscullydo · 12/11/2022 13:51

Its an act of literal violence to be assigned a mere mortal at birth.
