Jesus said, "I'm the King of the Jews"... but he wasn't. And they
crucified him for that.
Did the Romans actively prosecute impostors? It that what the
Roman Law, which inspired modern law, has to offer?
I think it's all a farce.
Elvis was the King.  His first job was "shabbos goy"
for a nice orthodox jewish family.
Elvis rocked the world and Jesus rocked the world. But it doesn't mean
that's any better than before. Actually the world was worse after
Jesus.
And Elvis made it a better world. But that's only my humble opinion.
Elvis is, to many, the new Jesus. He is the replacement who is more
rational, and after a few hundred years it will likely be said that he
was resurrected after being crucified cruelly on a giant electric
guitar and forced to take drugs.

There will always be kooky people who are just weird enough to write a
giant, poorly organized story book about this.

Presley, you have lost your mind, but if you think, more or less, the
same thing about a cracker and the body of Jesus, you're just a
Catholic."

True, and notice they never died. THEY ARE BOTH ALIVE!

But I stay with Elvis.

Tell you what, I stay with Chuck Berry...
