The error that Mr. Houts makes in comparing his Cheeses series
with JCS is that there was an attempt to interpret the Christ
story in another cultural format (R&R) with JCS while his ditty
is an undisguised lampooning of the NAME of God.  If you know
anything about Judaism or Christianity you know that God's name
is important.  Many Jews and some Christians will not even type
or write God but will substitute G-d or L-rd as an act of reverence.
