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

cryptotheism replies:
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?

Huh, the commenter mentioned it really casually but its a fun fact that Peter is actually just a nickname for the apostle Simon that does essentially mean Rocky or Rocko. The original name Petros just means rock like in the word petrified.
