Conducting bear WTF?!?

[Fapcup]

I searched the site but couldn't find answers, so while the explanation might be lost to christorians through the passage of time, I figured Id ask...

Christ was originally named Christopher, right? But he has made numerous references to a "conducting bear" in a mall somehow baptizing him and changing his name to "Christian".

WTF?!?

Is this supposed to be taken literally, or is it some early, psychotic breakthrough?!? Does anybody know more?

 

[Some JERK]

The bear fucked up and called him "Christian" instead of Christopher, and numbnuts took it as a sign from god and changed his name. End of story.

I agree it is a bit "WHAT THE FICK REALLY?!" But it is chris... And barb and lumberjack... They are retarded.

Yes, a robotic bear was actually responsible for changing his name...this is sort of why Chris seems like a fever dream of the universe.

I like how it's God and the bear, as if the bear is an omnipotent being comparable to GodJesus and not just an agent of heaven

It probably helped that Bob had wanted to name him Christian.
