show transcriptargamoth asked:
In "How The Grinch Stole Christmas", we see The Grinch realizing the spiritual meaning of Christmas. What branch of Christianity do you think he was / converted to?

cryptotheism answered:
I think it's probably a branch of Christianity unique to Who-kind. They have Christmas, so I assume Christ also appeared to them as a Who.

They probably have their own whimsical Dr. Seuss version of the church. He had Who apostles, and one of them was the parallel for Peter named Rocko or some shit.

Toying with the idea of a Dr Seuss version of the new testament in my spare time

The line of King David and God interbred!

Born in a manger with straw for a bed!

Rewrite the gospels! This can't be ignored!

Where-o-where is the son of the Lord?

The majority of what we know as Christmas traditions predated Christianity. The Church just slapped Jesus onto it just like capitalism slapped mercantilism onto it later on.

So in other word Whobilation (who-Christmas) is just a repackage by Whotholacism of a pagan who-festival venerating the who-god Whogamesh
