LOL!

my spelling mistakes are caused by many factors.

!.  can't spell a word
2. can't type as well on a smaller keyboard.
3. can't type in the dark.
4. can't type before coffee consumption.
5. can't type as fast as I can think.  (I just scraped through high school
typed case on the speed tests.)
6. can't type when I excited.  This probably covers a lot of what your have
speculated about.

By the way, Jesus, as every name, has several spelling.  Even the experts
have their "favorites".  The fact that the name is used in longer and
shorter forms adds to the issue as well as translation into other languages.

To dismiss an arguement, a proposition, etc., solely because of spelling
mistakes would be like NOT listening to Led Zepplin because Jimmy Page is a
hack guitarist (and person) or because Robert Plant can't sing (he lost his
voice after the second album.  Gee, who would listen to the Who if Roger
Daltry was the selling feature.
