There are actually some very fascinating traditions that Jesus traveled with His great-uncle Joseph (of Arimathea) to Cornwall, where Joseph operated tin mines. Christianity arrived on those shores very shortly after Jesus' death, and Rome was actually converted from Britain, not the other way around (if you know who's who in the Epistle to the Romans).
England and Ireland have been important lands for Christianity for centuries.
But no, Jesus is not English. :laughing7:
He is more, he is the last Adam.
No, Jesus is not English, but I was just saying that He may have visited the Isles...
Everyone has a theory about where He was during His lost years, as Tibet, India, Japan, etc. I think He was in Parthia long enough to have made a friend and convert of king Abgar, who was set to go to war with Rome over His crucifixion. Anyway, I didn't mean to derail your thread, Eduard, but the quote about Jesus being English (The English should be so lucky, but the land was still Britain when Christianity arrived.) got my mind to making connections, as it ever does...
How about this, from Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
"Of course I am French! How do you think I got this outrrrrrrrrageous accent? ... Go away now, English pig-dog, or I shall taunt you a second time! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!"
Nice one.
Another one from Mermaids:
" Why did you think you were pregnant? You're still a virgin. "
"Don't have sex because you will get pregnant and die."

Everybody knows that Jesus is American! Lol sadly there are a lot of people who actually think he is.
Most of the founding fathers were Deists, including Thomas Jefferson.

Gilligan's Island:
Their well runs dry. Gilligan is digging a new one. He gets carried away and is throwing the dirt behind him, into the air. Mr Howell walks right into the flying dirt and says, "Good heavens, it's so dry it's raining dirt!" :LH:
And yes, believe it or not, I used to watch GI.
I saw every episode at least five times!
And I'm not ashamed! :laughing7:
In an episode of Babylon 5, some people appear from the past through some kind of time warp (if I remember it correctly). One of them meets the Narn ambassador G'Kar, who tells her, "You should go back where you came from - the future isn't what it used to be!"
Oh Laz I LOVE that clip from Monty Python hahaha. I was watching it over and over again on youtube the other night laughing my arse off. My dad has a t-shirt that says "I fart in your general direction!" :laughing7:

Well I grew up with 3 sisters so there was really no way for me to get around watching chick flicks every now and then lol. And if you're dating a girl in high school and college, you're going to have to suck it up and watch those movies every now and then. I can't tell you how many times I have walked into a room with Pitch Perfect on in the last year lol. Believe me though, I have watched much much worse than those two.

Oooh! I'm not sure what would be worse, growing up with 3 sisters, or 3 brothers! :eek:
I'm an only child. I wish I had siblings...
Be careful what you wish for! :laugh:

I had fun with my sisters growing up, but I wish one of those sisters could have been a brother. I think 2 girls and 2 boys would have been a good mix in our household. Luckily my dad was always a very hands-on and would be there for me to do guy stuff.

I think a lot of them were fairly quiet on their views about religion too. I'm not sure exactly of what faith the other founding fathers were, but I remember from US History that Jefferson was a Deist. I think their view in general was that faith and religion should be personal to the individual and that it shouldn't cross with politics. They were not these Bible thumping fundies trying to form a Christian theocracy like many fundies believe today.

Saying that the United States were founded by Deists is actually a bit off the mark, although true as far as it goes. If you dig deeper you will find that 'Merica was founded and prodded along by the Freemasons, and there was a Jesuit connection in there too.

Interestingly enough, a show came on tonight on public television called Restoring America, where some doctor argued that the nation was founded on Christian values. I had to go do something so I didn't get to watch the entire thing, but the guy made a good case for it with quotes from George Washington, Patrick Henry, and others. I will have to look into it more.
