The Historical Reliability of the New Testament

Instead, he was whisked away by aliens at the last second and Chapman shot a stand-in.

Lennon is actually working on a new album and playing to an adoring public on another planet. He's also glad to be free from Yoko at last.

It's not very likely, but it IS possible...based on what we know of Yoko.

Fine. So what? 

As long as you don't expect tax exemptions, or influence over legislation because of it - you can make up whatever sh*t you like. Same with scientific theories - nobody is forcing you to pray to the String, or Drake equation, or taking away your liberties because of those theoretical concepts - are they? 

On the other hand - I'm supposed to adjust my life-style, because dumb people believe their imaginary friend wants me to.
