Everyone gives him weird looks. * Enforced: "Kids these days don't empathise with the paternalistic view of Christ, we should make him Totally Radical!" * Lampshaded: "I never thought Jesus Christ would be this much fun!" * Invoked: The church uses a happy-clappy modern reinterpretation of "Buddy Christ" to gain followers. * Defied; "You think because I preach brotherly love I don't believe in self-restraint and following the rules?" * Discussed: ??? * Conversed: "Another Way Cool Jesus? I mean I know the guy was nice, but it seems like everything that portrays him nowadays has him as some ridiculous cool-dude figure" Back to Jesus Was Way Cool
