When the glee club gets to school in the morning, Finn is at the front of the room for glee club. "Mr. Shue? I have something to say. Something happened to me, and I can't really get into it, but it's shaken me to my core."

"Oh, my God, he's coming out." Puck says.

Finn smiles. "Why, yes, there is a man who's sort ofrecently come into my life, and that man is Jesus Christ."

The whole room is shocked.

Puck groans. "That's way worse."

"And I know there's others in here who dig him, too. And so I thought, maybe this week, we could pay tribute to him in music. You know, pay tribute to Jesus." Finn continues.

"Sorry, uh, but if I wanted to sing about Jesus, I'd go to church. And the reason I don't go to church is because most churches don't think very much of gay people. Or women. Or science." Kurt says.

Mercedes smiles. "I don't see anything wrong with getting a little church up in here."

Quinn nods. "I agree. I've had a really hard year, and I turned to God a lot for help. I, for one, wouldn't mind saying thanks."

Santana looks over at her. "Thanks for what? That it didn't come out a lizard baby?"

Angie glares at Santana. "I love you Santana, but do you have to pick on everyone?" She asks.

"Hey, I don't pick on you." Santana points out.

"Just leave Quinn alone. Please." Angie says. Santana drops the conversation.

"Whenever I pray, I fall asleep." Brittany pipes up.

Will decides to say something. "Well, guys, maybe our song selections don't have to be about Jesus. We could do songs about spirituality."

Finn looks at Puck. "You got a problem with Jesus?"

Puck scoffs. "Oh, I got no problem with the guy. I'm a total Jew for Jesus. He's my number one Heb. What I don't like seeing is people using J-money to cramp everybody else's style, 'cause it seems to me that true spirituality or whatever you want to call it is about enjoying the life that you've been given. I mean, I see God every time I make out with a new chick."

Rachel scoffs. "Okay, okay, that doesn't make any sense. In fact, it's stupid."

"And it's offensive." Angie adds.

Puck raises his eyebrow. "Are you calling Mr. Billy Joel stupid?" He asks. The two girls don't answer. He stands up and grabs a guitar. "At this time, I'd like to continue my streak of doing only songs by Jewish artists. Hit it."

Puck sings "Only The Good Die Young" and New Directions provide backup vocals.

Angie sits with Finn at lunch, who's staring at the wall.

"Earth to Finn! Yo Hudson, what's going on in that head of yours?" Angie asks.

Finn snaps out of his daze. "Sorry. Rachel's kinda been on my case."

Angie nods. "So you're having relationship problems?"

Finn shrugs. "I don't think so. I mean... she's getting all religious and stuff."

"Well I think Rachel's just overreacting." Angie states.
