Now whilst there is a lot of debate over whether Jesus was the Messiah there is little on his abilities as a carpenter.
From the evidence we can see he must have been one of the most useless carpenters in history, as follows:
1. He was Jewish. You ever met a Jewish carpenter - me either. There's a reason. Jewish people are not good with their hands. Now had he been Polish....
2. He changed career at 30. Who does that? He inherited his father's business - it could have been an easy life. Things must have been going really badly by then.
3. At his trial the Jews chose him for crucifixion over Barabas. Barabas was a complete shit. It doesn't make sense, unless most of the crowd were ex-customers whose shelving units had fallen on their heads, partition walls collapsed, tables wobbled and so on. That would be one seriously pissed off group. My guess is that they still didn't think they were sentencing him to death - they probably thought - if he made that cross it certainly won't take his weight.
4. There is enough wood "from the cross" going around to rebuild the Noah's ark. Not, you will notice, so much as a bed side table from his earlier career.
5. After Jesus' death when the disciples were sitting around wondering what to do next not one of them suggested going round to gather his works.
6. Ebay. A piece of toast with his image burned upon it sold for $40,000. If you had a coffee table with "JC AD 25" on the bottom we would be talking retirement money - never comes up though - does it.
The case rests.
