   As I have said on here before, I do not believe that I am   
   the return of Jesus.   
      
   However in recent months I have been acting as an evening   
   and night home support worker for my brother.  And he,   
   when he has a problem, will say "Jesus Christ!" or   
   "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!" which I respond to and ask   
   him what is wrong.  Only rarely does he use my name,   
   and then generally not as loudly as when he takes   
   Jesus's name in vain.   
      
   My latest (and ongoing tonight) progress is described on   
   the thread "Lughnasadh Eve to Lughnasadh" on alt.religion.druid .   
      
   The Christian equivalent of Lughnasadh is Lammas (loaf-mass).   
      
   The atheist equivalent is a bank holiday in Scotland and   
   a federal civic holiday in Canada (though in St. John's   
   non-federal employees get Regatta Day, the first Wednesday   
   in August, or first non-windy day after that, off instead).
