Shayler: I am the Messiah
2:20pm Thursday 6th September 2007
Comments (11)Former High Wycombe schoolboy and ex-spy David Shayler has proclaimed that he is the new Messiah.
Shayler, who attended John Hampden Grammar School, has called a news conference this afternoon at which he will claim that he has been chosen by a high power to save the planet.
The former MI5 man, who was jailed in 2002 for passing classified information to national newspapers, says: "I am the last incarnation of the Holy Ghost (aka the Holy Spirit) or the Yeshua or Jesus Spirit (aka the Christ consciousness).
"As the Holy Spirit is God incarnate as essence, I am God incarnated as spirit and man.
He said: "It is absolutely clear to me that the world is going to hell in a handcart. Few would dispute that humanity needs a Messiah to get it through these difficult times."
"This is all rather embarrassing for someone who was an atheist technocrat three years ago. And I am painfully aware how mad all this sounds," he added.

It is absolutely clear to me that the world is going to hell in a handcart. Few would dispute that humanity needs a Messiah to get it through these difficult times.So what can he do to help the people of Wycombe? Can he lower our Council tax, get rid of the traffic lights, stop the introduction of the SPA or get rid of the complex?
We need to see him demonstrate his new found super human powers!

The reason the messiah doesnt come back is because it is all a wodnerful story that happened a long time ago. But that is what it is, a story. The guy preached peace and love which is cool but thats about it.
If you saw a burning bush these days and claimed it was talking to you, you would be sectioned (incidentally i know that wasnt the messiah). Fast forward to a later point where Jesus supposedly walked on water. Anyway possible that was a sand bar in the water ?
The difference now is that we have the power to question these things and not worry about being put to death because of it.
