[3249.02 --> 3249.46] of the Bible.
[3249.46 --> 3252.42] So a really
[3252.42 --> 3253.24] great illustration
[3253.24 --> 3255.38] of this in
[3255.38 --> 3255.84] the book
[3255.84 --> 3257.04] American Gods
[3257.04 --> 3257.84] by Neil
[3257.84 --> 3258.16] Gaiman.
[3258.78 --> 3259.80] It's a fictional
[3259.80 --> 3260.78] story of a
[3260.78 --> 3261.48] whole pantheon
[3261.48 --> 3262.12] of gods who
[3262.12 --> 3263.04] are in the
[3263.04 --> 3263.76] midst fighting
[3263.76 --> 3264.32] amongst
[3264.32 --> 3265.82] themselves and
[3265.82 --> 3266.52] us for
[3266.52 --> 3267.62] attention as
[3267.62 --> 3268.28] the means by
[3268.28 --> 3268.90] which their
[3268.90 --> 3269.66] presence in
[3269.66 --> 3270.22] the world is
[3270.22 --> 3270.66] sustained.
[3271.10 --> 3271.80] This is an
[3271.80 --> 3272.18] illustration.
[3272.98 --> 3273.88] The TV
[3273.88 --> 3275.00] adaptation of
[3275.00 --> 3276.52] this novel
[3276.52 --> 3277.18] actually goes
[3277.18 --> 3277.88] even further to
[3277.88 --> 3278.34] the point that
[3278.34 --> 3278.82] we're about to
[3278.82 --> 3279.00] make.
[3279.46 --> 3280.54] In the TV
[3280.54 --> 3281.12] version of the
[3281.12 --> 3282.20] story, Mr.
[3282.32 --> 3284.24] Wednesday, who
[3284.24 --> 3285.58] is the American
[3285.58 --> 3286.42] version of the
[3286.42 --> 3287.60] Norse god Odin,
[3288.12 --> 3288.92] Wednesday is
[3288.92 --> 3290.76] Odin's day, and
[3290.76 --> 3292.18] Mr. Ibis, who
[3292.18 --> 3293.14] is the American
[3293.14 --> 3293.86] version of the
[3293.86 --> 3294.64] Egyptian god
[3294.64 --> 3295.56] Thoth, who
[3295.56 --> 3296.48] usually appears
[3296.48 --> 3297.16] as an Ibis
[3297.16 --> 3298.96] bird, they
[3298.96 --> 3300.92] both say that
[3300.92 --> 3302.38] you not only
[3302.38 --> 3303.42] have one Jesus
[3303.42 --> 3305.24] in our Western
[3305.24 --> 3305.94] culture, but you
[3305.94 --> 3306.56] have a bunch of
[3306.56 --> 3307.86] different Jesuses.
[3308.34 --> 3308.74] Mr.
[3308.74 --> 3309.94] Wednesday explains
[3309.94 --> 3310.56] to Shadow
[3310.56 --> 3311.22] Moon, who's the
[3311.22 --> 3312.26] protagonist, he
[3312.26 --> 3312.68] says you've got
[3312.68 --> 3313.44] your white Jesus
[3313.44 --> 3314.00] and your
[3314.00 --> 3314.74] Jesuit style
[3314.74 --> 3315.38] Jesus, your
[3315.38 --> 3316.06] black African
[3316.06 --> 3316.80] Jesus and your
[3316.80 --> 3317.68] Mexican Jesus
[3317.68 --> 3318.32] and your
[3318.32 --> 3319.12] swarthy Greek
[3319.12 --> 3319.66] Jesus.
[3321.20 --> 3322.20] And truthfully,
[3322.64 --> 3323.70] if you look
[3323.70 --> 3324.34] around, it goes
[3324.34 --> 3325.22] even further than
[3325.22 --> 3325.56] that.
[3326.42 --> 3327.52] Because in the
[3327.52 --> 3328.60] evangelical culture,
[3328.74 --> 3329.28] more generally,
[3329.54 --> 3330.14] you've got your
[3330.14 --> 3331.28] hyper-masculine
[3331.28 --> 3331.82] Jesus.
[3333.04 --> 3333.50] But then to
[3333.50 --> 3334.26] contrast that out,
[3334.32 --> 3334.76] you've got your
[3334.76 --> 3335.60] feminine Jesus,
[3336.60 --> 3337.24] you've got your
[3337.24 --> 3338.16] hipster Jesus,
[3338.44 --> 3339.54] and you've got
[3339.54 --> 3339.98] your hippie
[3339.98 --> 3340.42] Jesus.
[3341.42 --> 3342.60] It all depends
[3342.60 --> 3343.60] on what you
[3343.60 --> 3344.44] think you need
[3344.44 --> 3344.96] him for.
[3345.60 --> 3346.38] Or it all
[3346.38 --> 3347.16] depends on which
[3347.16 --> 3348.64] version of him
