Appreciating Bill Hicks' Sense of Humor

I cannot help but laugh out loud when I read the following quote:

“A lot of Christians wear crosses around their necks. You think when Jesus comes back he ever wants to see a fucking cross? It's like going up to Jackie Onassis wearing a rifle pendant.”

-Bill Hicks

Bill Hicks had a truly remarkable perspective, and was truly one of the funniest people of the 20th century. One of the reasons I like his preceding statement, is that it draws a comparison to John F. Kennedy, (not a revered religious icon, but a popular leader representing change) and Jesus. What would Jesus be like in today's world? A Jewish carpenter perhaps? A presidential candidate? Anyways, Mr. Hicks was a comic who really saw everything has it truly is, and was able to get away with telling everybody else about it. The world is a richer and more informed place becuause of the work of this man. At first glance one might not think so, but if you listen closely, or loosely even, he has a lot of wisdom to share.
