This is what I would characterize as a problem.

A former cop from Siberia has said he is Jesus since 1989. That’s only part of the problem. The other part of the problem is that people believe him.

“It’s all very complicated,” he starts quietly. “But to keep things simple, yes, I am Jesus Christ. That which was promised must come to pass. And it was promised in Israel 2,000 years ago that I would return, that I would come back to finish what was started. I am not God. And it is a mistake to see Jesus as God. But I am the living word of God the Father. Everything that God wants to say, he says through me.”

Someone please get the devil out of this guy! They call him “Vissarion Christ” – pretty scary.

“We’re not allowed to smoke, or swear, or drink,” laughs Larissa, a glowing 28-year-old mother of three who arrived here from Moscow with her mother as an 18-year-old. “Everything is banned here. We’re not allowed to do anything except fall in love.”

Sounds like Orem, Utah to me!
