Comment:

"I dunno, Helen, I feel kind of intimidated, taking my AP exam in a church. This is only the second church I've ever been in. You know, Jewish."

"Yeah, but I think going in a church gets you God-points."

"God-points?"

"Yeah. Wait, are God-points transferable?"

"Depends if they're God-points or Jesus-points."

"Oh."

ya missed out on some major jesus from acts like ministry and ryan adams, which, judging from the quality of the stuff that IS repesented here, was probably intentional

Good choices. Could also include "Jesus is Just Alright With Me" by the Byrds.
