-Jesus said "Love thy neighbor." Elvis said "Don't be cruel."
-Jesus walked on water. Elvis surfed (Blue Hawaii, 1965).

habits (eg, 5 banana split breakfast).

Elvis (A Golden Tribute).
-"Jesus countenance...like lightning...raiment snow white." (Matthew
28:3) Elvis wore snow white jumpsuits with lightning bolts.

-People called Jesus a "...glutton and a drunk." (Luke 7:34) People
called Elvis "...an overweight druggie...".
-Jesus died for us. Young girls would 'die for' Elvis.

-Even today Jesus has a cult following. Even today Elvis has a cult
