``Jesus'' loses defamation suit against churches MUNICH, Germany, May 24 (Reuters) - Three theologians representing Jesus Christ sued the Protestant and Roman Catholic churches for bringing his name into disrepute -- and lost in a German courtroom on Wednesday. The theologians, calling themselves ``brothers in spirit'' of Christ, sued under a law that lets people defend their dead relatives' reputations. They argued that the churches' role in wars had disqualified them from calling themselves ``Christian.'' ``In view of their bloody history, it's a fraud,'' one told the court in the staunchly Catholic Bavarian city of Munich. The judge threw out the case on the grounds that the German constitution guaranteed religious freedom -- but not before he pointed out that, since Christians believe Christ rose from the dead, his ``brothers'' had no right to bring a case on his behalf. 12:56 05-24-00 Copyright 2000 Reuters Limited.
