The son of God, Jesus Christ, has returned to Earth and he wants a judge to stop the eviction of independence campaigners camped outside the Scottish Parliament, a court has heard.
Mr Christ has instructed members of the Sovereign Indigenous Peoples of Scotland to remain outside the Parliament so they can continue their “spiritual” vigil.
Jesus, who many people believe to be the saviour of humanity, has told the group to oppose the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body’s attempts to remove them.
Campaigner Richard McFarlane told the Court of Session on Tuesday that he had spoken to Jesus.
He told judge Lord Turnbull that Jesus – who is said to have risen from the dead after being crucified in controversial circumstances – also told them the indy camp wants the Stone of Destiny.
The court heard how the stone would be used in a “Coronation” ceremony for Christ.
Mr McFarlane said: “We have spoken to Jesus who is here for his Second Coming and he would like you to stop this if you can please.
“If it is in your power could you please leave the indie camp alone? Christ is here on his second coming.
“We are having a spiritual vigil. We want to be free of debt and free of war. So if you can stop this, please do.”
We have spoken to Jesus who is here for his second coming and he would like you to stop this if you can please.
Mr McFarlane’s claims were made during a procedural hearing. The campaigners are currently fighting the Corporate Body’s attempts to have their camp removed from the Scottish Parliament’s grounds.
The camp was set up on the Parliamentary estate in November 2015 with the Indy campers citing the devolution era Democracy for Scotland vigil as inspiration.
The corporate body wants the group to be removed saying they are taking up space without permission and could be compromising the political neutrality of the area.
During proceedings, Lord Turnbull rebuked Mr McFarlane for not sticking to legal points and for making “philosophical” and “spiritual” arguments that couldn’t be properly examined by the court.
