The Lushotological equivalent to "John 3:16"? "More Booze; Less Guilt." Sounds like something straight out of Lushotology (a parody religion)’s teachings.

The Lushotological equivalent to “John 3:16″?

“More Booze; Less Guilt.”

Here is a genuine prayer attributed to St. Brigid: I would like to have the men of Heaven in my own house: With vats of good cheer laid out for them. I would like to have the three Marys, their fame is so great. I would like people from every corner of Heaven. I would like them to be cheerful in their drinking, I would like to have Jesus too here amongst them. I would like a great lake of beer for the King of Kings, I would like to be watching Heaven's family, drinking it through all eternity. Sacreligious but I laughed anyway.

I would like to have Jesus too here amongst them.
I would like a great lake of beer for the King of Kings,
I would like to be watching Heaven’s family, drinking it through all eternity.

He woke up hanging from a cross. Hence the term: Hangover. I heard Jesus wasn’t crucified, but just got really, really drunk, and somebody tied him to a cross as a prank.

Jesus then created more wine from water and served it up to the party goers who were already drunk. sounds to me like Jesus really knows how to party. We could learn a thing or two from him.
