That would likely be [[User:Thejesusgod]].
If that's true, that would imply he believes himself to be jesus and/or god, which is no doubt offensive to devout Christians. Why not simply choose a different name?
In my experience, the more devout the Christian, the more strongly they believe in the second coming. Let us not be too quick to crucify [[User:Thejesusgod]].

Isn't "crucify" a bit too unfortunate choice of words here. We certainly shouldn't bite, but it doesn't take rocket science to figure out this username is problematic. All he has to do to continue editing is pick another one. It's not the user being blocked, just the name.
Of course, if a username RFC or WP:AN discussion says I'm wrong and that I'm the only one seeing it as problematic, I'd be happy to leave it alone.
