Don't Fuck With the Jesus

Listening to Terry Gross interview Stephen Colbert on Fresh Air yesterday, there were chuckles aplenty. Yet I was stunned (and somewhat incredulous) to hear Colbert describe himself as a devout Catholic. Call me obtuse, but somehow I never would have associated wit, sarcasm, and ironic, deadpan humor with impassioned Catholicism. Who'd a-thunk it?

Later, I came across this hilarious list, thanks to McSweeney's (click the link to read entire list):
