Picking up where we left off last time, there are other ways that Jesus was (and is) a Yahoo. Jesus is also a YAHOO in the internet sense of the term. ‘YET ANOTHER HIERARCHICAL OFFICIOUS ORACLE.” It turns out, however, that even in the finest internet sense of the term, Jesus is a yahoo when it comes to being a YAHOO. Because Jesus is anything but “another hierarchical officious oracle.” In fact, he is the exact opposite of a “hierarchical officious oracle.” A de-hierarchical (if there is such a word) non-officious oracle.

They try their best to make him your standard run-of-the-mill YET ANOTHER HIERARCHICAL OFFICIOUS ORACLE. The early church leaders developed their orthodox set of beliefs and put their Christ right up there on top. The top of the hierarchy. Right next to, co-equal to, the human manifestation of God Godself. His people elevated him to the highest status; they even commemorated it in their creeds (“He sitteth at the right hand of God”). Up on top, orthodoxy places him up there on a pedestal. But just like Yertle in the Dr. Seuss parable of “Yertle the Turtle,” we all know that the pedestal, the hierarchy, is only as strong as the poor guy at the very bottom of the pile, holding everything up. The foundation, if you will.

So that’s where Jesus chooses to be. At the bottom. Where he belongs, supporting all the poor, fragile turtles – I mean human beings – above him. And so, our Lord and Savior is born in a smelly, old stable amongst the lowly animals, and he is crucified along with lowly fellow criminals at his side. In other words, from beginning to end, from birth to death, Jesus turns everything upside down. What a yahoo!
Blog 5:

Jesus proudly lived his life as a walking talking Yahoo, a living, breathing human search engine to find God. And so it goes 2,000 years later. Jesus remains a human search engine to find God. A Yahoo and Goggle, all rolled into one. You need information about God? You want to know all there is to know about God? You’re going to need a pretty big search engine. Unfortunately, a search engine like GOOGLE, a search engine that could handle information equal to 1 with a hundred zeroes after it, would just be the tip of the iceberg; and two search engines, like GOOGLE and YAHOO, each with that much info about God, wouldn’t be much better.

But with the human search engine, JESUS THE YAHOO, you’ve got all you need to know.
