I've been 'Jesus Christ' on Twitter for 14 years — and thanks to Elon Musk, I'm now verified
I'm not religious myself. I just want to bring some joy and laughter to the Twitter universe.Even though I've had it that long, I wasn't ever sure I'd be able to get it verified. I've applied for verification before and been rejected, but when Elon Musk changed the verification rules and you could subscribe to Twitter Blue and buy a verified check, I knew it was finally my time. It was immediate.
In a way, I verified the Jesus account to show how absurd the new system of verification is. It's like, obviously, I'm not Jesus. He doesn't have a Twitter account, so why am I able to be verified? It doesn't make sense.People send me prayer requests. I think that they realize I'm not actually Jesus, but it's still soothing for them to send the request into the world anyway.
The requests come from all around the world and in different languages. Sometimes, I'll send a message back that's encouraging or something, but I'm very aware of the fact that I'm not a trained psychologist and don't have the professional credentials to be able to handle this kind of thing. I am very aware of how powerless I am when people are sending me prayer requests. There's really nothing I can do. It's strange to watch people ask me to help them with things I'm so incapable of assisting with.I don't know what I'm going to do with the account. I wish I could say I had a master plan, but honestly, I'm just rolling with it.
