(laughter) and they both haddad di issues. odin exiled thor to earth to humble him and god sent jesus to earth to die for our sins. either way you're looking at a couple of pretty awkward father's days. (laughter) plus both jesus and thor are totally cut! (laughter) so the obvious theological question is could jesus take thor in a fight? yahweh or no way? yahweh! ♪ hallelujah... (cheers and applause) $66 million isn't bad, but jesus made $83 million the opening weekend of "the passion of the christ." sorry, thor. (laughter) does that make you thad? (laughter) you can thuck my mid-guard serpent. (cheers and applause) of course, problem is, thor is bound to have a sequel so god better bring jesus back soon and while he's at it throw him some new sup
