You just can't make this stuff up. From BetUS:
My favorite part is the qualification at the bottom. As opposed to...just some random dude named Jesus?
Before you rush over to put your life savings on this, the limit is $25. Although $25,000 is a lot of money...
Update: Regarding an issue raised in the comments, I e-mailed BetUS with the following question:
"Hi. I have a question about one of the props currently listed- "The Second Coming of Jesus Christ", under "Entertainment Props". If a child is born, named Jesus, and his father's first name is God, doesn't this satisfy the criteria of the proposition?"I just got a response:
Well, then."Dear Jacob, The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ, will be a glorious event (Matthew 24:29-51). Therefore, there should not be any doubts that he is the son of God. If you need any further assistance from us, please let us know. Best regards, Johnny, The BetUS.com Team."

there are actually people who claim to be the reincarnation of christ every so often. i read an article about one like 10 yrs ago. does those people count? i would assume not.
Well, they can't prove it.
But really- how would one go about *proving* that they're the son of God? Birth certificate?
Anyone claiming to be the son of God would likely have to prove this claim via the completion of any number of your standard miracles - walking on water, turning water into wine, curing the blind, raising the dead. Stuff like that.
Of course, if I'm remembering my Bible right, when the Pharisees (?) started gettin' all up in Jesus' business, they were all, "Prove you're the son of God and we'll leave you alone," and he was all, "I don't need to prove anything to you," and they were all, "Fine, then we'll crucify you and call it a day," and he was all, "Bring it."
The point ultimately being that proving someone's Jesus-ness might not be as easy as I first made it sound.
You said it man. Nobody fucks with The Jesus.
Those odds may seem terrible, but would rather bet on that at 1000/1 or the Orioles winning the World Series at 300/1.
It is actually a pretty tough call.
would a random dude named Jesus who also had a random father named God satisfy the requirements of this bet?
It seems strange that none of you have thought that as Jesus is an entirely mythical figure how could he make a reappearance when he was never here in the first place?
