Spread

A strong influence contributing to the spread of Raptor Jesus its Uncyclopedia page, which creates biblical-style lore about the character. The page explains that “Raptor Jesus roamed the Earth back when God Himself was still only a teenager. His execution is thought to be the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs, as God was mad at the Romans for aiding in His son’s death.” Encyclopedia Dramatica also documented him, including a prayer for him which goes “Our Raptor, Whose art is /h/entai, shopped be Thy face; Thy donations cum, The Game be won. On Earth as it is on 4-chan. Give us this day our daily lulz and forgive us our trolling as we forgive those who troll against us, and lead us not into faggotry, but deliver us from /fur/ries For thine is the Server, the Banhammer, and the WIN. Forever and ever… Amen.”
