NEW YORK â€" a Manhattan man’s spirit soared to celestial heights Friday when a judge gave him permission to change his name to Jesus Christ.

Jose Luis Espinal, 42, of Washington Heights, said he was “happy” and “grateful” that the judge approved the change, effective immediately.

Espinal said he was moved to seek the name change about a year ago when it dawned on him, “I am the person that is that name.”

Espinal, who acted as his own lawyer, got the change approved by Manhattan Civil Court Judge Diane Lebedeff, who said she was “satisfied that this application is neither novel, nor would granting it pose practical problems.”

The judge said name change applications usually are not denied just because the change might cause practical difficulties or be thought unwise, as long as a person with the same name does not object to the proposed change.

Santa Claus

She cited a 2001 Utah case in which a man legally changed his name to “Santa Claus” and a Washington, D.C., case earlier this year in which a name change applicant obtained a driver’s license and social security card in the name of “Jesus Christ.”

The judge compared those cases with that of actor Peter Lorre’s widow, who objected to a man who said he was the actor’s relative changing his name to “Peter Lorie.”

pagkadaghna bakokang sa ila ulo!

dili lang bakokang kiams. apil ok-ok, buyog ug unsa pang matang sa mananap.

Blasphemy of the highest kind,
  heat in hell increases multiple times
  once this crack-head gets there.

Usa seguro ni sa mga lunatic nga
  naglatagaw sa ibabaw
   ning nagyagaw nga kalibotan
   sa mga buhi.
 

na unsa naman tawon ni mga tawhana oy

Susmaryosep!

i don't know what the judge is thinking when she handed the decision.

Well, naa man pud bitaw si Jejomar Binay, whose name means Jesus, Jose ug Maria. Pero kon Hesukristo na ang imong ngalan, lahi na pud na nga estoryahon.  

depende pod nis iyang intensyon...

kung makadahig nig mga tawo nga motoo sa Ginoo tungod sa iyang binuhatan, di, maayo.

pero kung para lang pang-record, pareho ra nas ngalan ni glacier. 

God is so patient toward those who dishonor His name. They will have their own day before His throne.

ambot kung ang mga Muslim masuko ba og naay nanundog sa ngalan ni Prophet Muhammad. kay kini sila ang labing ubos og tolerance when it comes to disrespecting religion.

pero, lahi man lagi ning atong tinohoan.

tinood, dili kini angay buhaton. apan, daghan pa baya ang mas bug-at nga pagpanamastamas nga nabuhat sa tawo batok sa Diyos. kining pag-daut sa atong isigkatawo ug sa kinaiyahan maoy iyang gikasilagan.

Daghan baya nga ig balhin nila sa Islam ang ngalan
       usbon sad nga Mohammad
Remember the boxer named Casius Clay when he
      converted to Islam, he changed his name to
      Mohammad Ali
 

Mohammad is their prophet whereas;
Allah is their God

it's hard to tell the truth especially when you're used to it..but...count me not....
