And upon the third day, the people came to the tomb but loh! it was empty.
And they fell to their knees and prayed before the tomb for the thread had been resurrected.

Paul Mooney, a comedian. Apparently, he gave Robin Williams his first break, as well as some other comedians.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Sing a sappy song.
There’s an urban legend I just made up that, if you stand in front of a mirror and sing ‘Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song’ three times, BJ Thomas will rise from the dead and kill your family.
