Oh Yea!?  Well, Whoopy Franquezi (note the Asolipidarian spelling), the
one true son of Ubizmo, took on the sins of the entire universe, not just
the pre-ChristianEra sins of our solitary planet.  So there!

The beloved Whoopy suffered even worse, because he sweated feces!  If you
think it's rough sweating blood, which at least FLOWS through pores,
imagine the torments of porous constipation!

Still, Whoopie casually deprecated his own suffering (Book of Toadying,
Chapter VI, verse 8.3) with a comment to the effect of "I've had worse
hangovers: [expletive], that's what being god is good for."  Now, isn't
he a great guy!?  Bow down your head(s) in worship!
