[Annual Reblog] I didn’t go to Mass this morning, so I made my Unitarian Universalist boyfriend tell me the story of Easter.

shayvaalski:

Boyfriend: And then they buried him, and the women were very sad because he had a rockin’ bod.

Boyfriend: And then there was much mourning, and Judas, his ex, was sad, because he had a rockin’ bod.

Boyfriend: And thus three days and nights had passed, and the Romans partied pretty hard, but everyone else had some regrets.

Boyfriend: And on the third day, they did say unto the Lord’s Angel, Where the hell is this dude’s corpse?

Boyfriend: And the Angel said, He is not here. He has risen.

Boyfriend: And the women were like, Fuck you, dude, this is why we can’t have nice things.

Boyfriend: And Jesus did come back from the dead, and He said, Eat of this bread, it is my body. And He said, This man shall wear a funny hat and be infallible, and he will be called the Pope.

Boyfriend: And He saw what He had done.

Boyfriend: And it was good.

Boyfriend: And then He said, Fuck you guys, I am taking my ball and going home.

Boyfriend: And He ascended into Heaven.

Boyfriend: And then Mary said to the angel, Man, you look familiar.

Boyfriend: And the Angel said, No, dude, we all look alike, I have never seen you before, and he did ascend into the sky, and Mary yelled, You owe me a LOT of child support.

Boyfriend: And that is why we have Easter. The eggs represent the ball Jesus took with him because he didn’t want to play anymore.
