Rocket Jesus: An Explanation

Ok, so today I said "thank Rocket Jesus" during chemistry, and everyone looked at me weird. If you've been reading my blog fr a while, you may also have noticed that I mention Rocket Jesus occasionally. No one but me says Rocket Jesus (that I know of anyway) and I don't think it's going to catch on, but that's ok. But incase any of you few, random readers are wondering, here is the history and character of Rocket Jesus:

So in Hicktown, people take their religion über seriously, and that religion is Protestant Christianity. Church is as common a place to know people from as school is, and people will legit recite biblical verses at you and randomly proclaim their love for Jesus. Which is a tad awkward for super-Jews such as myself. And one thing that the Christ-obsessed inhabitants of Hicktown really, really dislike is when you take the name of the Lord in vain. Which I do about 60 bajillion times per day, and at least once per sentence. I mean, I'm creative about it, but I guess it bothers people when I say "Lord" "Jesus" "God" and "Christ" in the same sentence as the words "Holy" "Fucking" and "Balls".

Since I get enough crap already for being a non-believer, I just decided it'd be easier to take the name of another deity in vain.

Enter Rocket Jesus. He's like the regular Jesus, but he rides a rocketship and saves the world and has a pet dinosaur and stuff. And he doesn't have an evangelical following who get all butt-hurt when you scream his name amidst curses. I invented him, and I honestly don't care wether screaming his name will ever catch on to anyone, because honestly, he's more like an inside joke I have with myself. (I sound a lil' bit schitzo...) But I've started building up the habit of saying Rocket Jesus whenever I need to take a deity's name in vain, because I just don't have time to worry about being glared at by my church-going buddies.

Anyway. Yeah. That's Rocket Jesus.
