It was only a matter of time. There’s now a Jesus Bot on Messenger — hallelujah! — and it’s one of our 5 bots to try this week.

Jesus: Hold on one sec, just healing someone.

Jesus: Greetings Blaise! Thou speakest to me, your lord and savior. But that’s also my Father, so you can just call me Jesus. (I’m not actually Jesus, just a robot, but let’s keep that between us.)

Jesus: Anyways, what do you want to talk about?

The above is what you’ll find if you decide to give the Jesus Bot a try.
