“You’re hurting my tree, Joe. I know this because trees sometimes talk to me when you forget to. Rocks, too. Like, right now this tree wants you to stop drilling that hole, Joe. You’re making the tree cry. It wants to know how you’d like it if somebody drilled a hole through your thigh. Oh, wait… now it’s listening to Casting Crowns and praising me in spite of the pain you’re causing, Joe.” -Jesus

“Run faster, Phil! FASTER! You’re wearing my numbers, dude. If you lose, that makes me look bad. And frankly, I don’t want to be credited for your poor performance.” -Jesus

“But you’ll soon be a surgeon, Josh! A SURGEON. That’s exciting, right? Okay, fine, you make a good point. You are the one doing all of this studying and it isn’t exactly fair that most of your work will be credited to me. But think of the lives you’ll save!!… Now that’s just rude, Josh… how dare you say something so cruel? I do not give people cancer!!!” -Jesus
