Does this article really need to exist? What does it really have to do with Transformers? Am I missing some subtle TF in-joke?

Jesus was referenced in the Dreamworks Transformers movie, so it's reasonable to have an article describing his relevance in the TF mythos. Hence the emphasis on his status as a moral exemplar implied by the phrase "What Would Jesus Do?", the car thing, and the cross symbol over anything of theological substance, and the snarky sentence about a possible connection to that Christmas holiday Transformers have repeatedly encountered. -Rotty 09:06, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
This article seems like a biiig stretch to me, too. Yes, the word "Jesus" has been spoken a few times in Transformers fiction. I'm not sure that really justifies the article. --Steve-o 17:00, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
And yet we already have Frijole in the Gods category. Are we going to delete that too? -Rotty 19:19, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Frojole doesn't read like an unencyclopedia entry. -Derik 19:29, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Plus, "Frijole" largely serves as a wry commentary on the stereotyping of Carlos. This article just doesn't strike me as having that much of a point to it, and seems random almost to the point of off-topicness. TVsGrady 20:13, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I think it's an article worth having, but this version is not done brilliantly. I feel like it should be done in the same way as articles like Nicholas, acting as if the references in Transformers fiction are the only existing information anywhere. Maybe Jesus (Movie) wasn't a carpenter, who knows? --Andrusi 20:26, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
