Jesus run over by a car.

Because of the late hour it is hard to confirm this story and do consider it suspect. At this point we will describe this as a weird rumour.

Stories seem to indicate Jesus, in his Second Coming, was run over by a car sometime in 2002. No exact location is given, though Texas is mentioned in some reports. To add fuel to this rumour is that he was riding a bicycle at the time, a previous rumour of Jesus driving a Honda Accord was debunked as a misinterpretation of the bible, notably John 12:49. Several people during the same period reported seeing Jesus riding a bicycle or being run over. Some were so moved that they wrote songs about it, the most popular is "Jesus on a bicycle" by the Heroin Addicts.

The story of his death in a nutshell seems to indicate that Jesus was wandering on some street attempting to do good deeds and run over by a car. The driver left the scene. Due to Jesus' appearance he was considered a homeless person with no next of kin. After his body was in the morgue for over a year it was cremated and buried in a pauper's grave. There is a lot of solid evidence countering this rumour. Of special importance are drivers who experienced near death or were dead for very short periods of time having conversations with Jesus. In none of the cases was there any mention of Jesus instructing the drivers to give up their cars.

More research is needed to sort all of this out.

It serves to further counter the argument that Jesus is dead.
