A man who claims to be Jesus has been arrested for walking on water in the USA.
‘Philly Jesus’ – aka Philadelphia street performer Michael Grant – performs Christ-like stunts in the park every day – walking on water in the park’s fountains, and occasionally baptizing people.
So when a policemen arrested the popular local figure for disorderly conduct when he refused to leave the park, ‘Philly Jesus’ had no shortage of disciples to help out.
The performer claims that the heavy-handed policeman threatened to ‘f*** him up’ – not exactly an appropriate thing to say to the fake risen Christ.
Hundreds of online protests have now sprung up with the hashtag #FreePhillyJesus, campaigning to have Grant’s charges dropped.
Phily Jesus is a recovering drug addict, but says he does not panhandle in the park – he just spreads God’s message via the medium of splashing about in fountains.

Where’s the harm in that?
