What Would Jesus Forward?

I received the following email from my eldest brother, who received it from a good friend of his. My brother is, of course, a good Christian­® and is in several groups and committees within his church. He never misses an opportunity to call anyone that doesn't attend church regularly a 'heathen,' regardless of the fact that those people are Christians. This is also despite the fact that for over 20 years he didn't attend church at all. In other words, typical hypocritical, holier-than-thou, infallible Christian. As I understand Christianity, we believe that we are imperfect and must submit to Jesus for salvation from our sins. He and his friend are also typical hypocritical social and economic conservatives.

Subject: I pretty much vote this my favorite email of the year....

Three men - a Canadian farmer, Osama bin Laden and a Texan are all working
together one day.

They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it.

"I will give each one of you one wish, which is three wishes in total,"
says the Genie.

The Canadian says, "I am a farmer and my son will also farm. I want the
land to be forever fertile in Canada."

POOF! With the blink of the Genie's eye, the land in Canada was forever
fertile for farming.

Osama was amazed. So he said, "I want a wall around Afghanistan, Palestine, Iraq and Iran so that no infidels, Americans or Canadians, can come in our
precious land."

POOF! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye, there was a huge wall
around those countries.

The Texan says, "I am very curious. Please tell me more about this wall."

The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 5,000 feet high, 5oo feet thick and
completely surrounds the countries. Nothing can get in or out; it's
virtually impenetrable."

The Texan sits down, smiles, and says, "Fill it with water."

(I fixed numerous spelling and grammatical errors, so that it is at least readable.)

Now, of course the first thing I did was to fire back a reply and said, "Jesus wouldn't fill it with water."

I'm sure I will receive a response to this. Boy, I can barely wait.
