Sounds like Jesus needs a round house kick to the face from Chuck Norris.

Alleged Chuck Norris Fact: "There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live." It's funny. It's cute. But here's what I really think about the theory of evolution: It's not real. It is not the way we got here. In fact, the life you see on this planet is really just a list of creatures God has allowed to live.
So by Mr. Norris's logic, extinction is God changing his mind.

Norris as Jesus freak? I swear I had read somewhere that Norris was Jewish, this is kinda disappointing -- I considered Chuck Norris as a vital antidote to the (massively enhanced by Woody Allen films) pop culture stereotype persona of the Jew as bookish, funny, neurotic, bespectacled intellectual. what American (and worldwide) Jewry badly needs is a popculture alternative to that poisonous model: and unironic, not-to-be-fucked-with kickass Chuck Norris was just perfect.
I also hold in the highest regard those kick-ass, black-belt Jewish goons in the Aronofski "Pi" movie.
anything but Woody, whose persona has been in my opinion very bad for the Jews

They probably just hired him as a ringer for the World Net Daily softball team. Look at this lineup:
Pat Buchanan - 1B
David Limbaugh - LF
Ann Coulter - C
Michelle Malkin - SS
Judge Roy Moore - DH
Ben Shapiro - 3B
Jerry Falwell - RF
Pat Boone - 2B
Dr. Laura - CF
Chuck Norris - P
That's impressive. They're gonna be tough to beat down the stretch. They currently lead the league in batshitinsane percentage.

Admittedly the neurotic and semi-incestuous ephebophile bits of his public persona are less than attractive, but I'd much rather be stereotyped as a funny intellectual than as someone who likes punching people (I wasn't really aware of Norris prior to that list of 'facts', he's a punching people person, right?).

Sure, but the Woody Allen stereotype is also that of a weak pushover which is kind of undesirable as well. And my (late) Jewish father-in-law was a cigar-chomping badass, sort of the anti-Woody. Here's a few more non-Woody-esque Hebrews. The stereotype is demonstrably false, but anti-semites simply ignore it.

Chuck Norris wishes people would stop attributing stuff to him on the Internet, whether it's pro-Jesus or pro-Awesome. Unless, of course, he really wrote this. Which would be funny, because that would mean he completely missed the point of all the "ridiculous deification of one individual" when we're all flawed. Jesus was invented (possibly from a real person or persons) as an ideal model for us all to aspire to; no different than Gallant of "Goofus and Gallant" and no more realistic or less simplistically black and white.
Unless, of course, his PR machine is behind BOTH sides of the Jesus vs. Awesome debate. That would truly be a masterstroke worthy of Chuck Norris of Internet Fame™.
