God has an amusement park

I saw it in Religulous... but I was watching a documentary tonight and saw it again.

Come one, come all. For 35 bucks you get an all day pass to The Holy Land Experience. Think of all the different times you can see Jesus reenacted. My spirit doth tingle just thinking about it.

I can't believe how some people make money... or spend it!

This is my new favorite beer label...

More suggestive than most Garden of Eden depictions, yet oddly biblical, in a very sexual sort of way.  "Yeah, baby... I got yer albino python right here...  It's better than that stinky apple..."

Wonder if they'll have to

Wonder if they'll have to change it. A few years back Pennsylvania wouldn't allow a beer called "Bad Frog" to sell because it had a frog giving the finger on the label. A few states wouldn't allow the imperial pilsner made by Dogfish Head to sell because it was called "Golden Shower. " (They changed the name for those states eventually. )

 Well, the beauty of this

 Well, the beauty of this label is that if anybody objects, you can just look offended and say, "Oh... it's a what?  .... You mean?   OH MY GOD!!! I'd have never thought that!  It just looks like a girl kissing a snake to me."

Then you get to tease a prude for being a sick dirty bastard.  That's always fun

I was laughing my ass off through that whole scene. They had that grusome scene with the centurions marching Jesus past the crowd, kicking the shit out of him the whole time. All the while there was a lady up on the hill singing a touching tune.

The best part though was the fact that the crowds were crying and waving their hands in the air like they were in the crazy house (church). Insanity is funny.

That scene literally had me

That scene literally had me laughing so hard I was crying. I was curious so I went online to their website. They have a 10 minute video showcasing all the fantastic things this amusement park has (not only does it have Jesus but also BENNY HINN!). I still can't get over it.

There is hope. Here in Utah there is a beer called "Polygamy Porter." When it first came out the LDS people raised holy living hell. However, the thing I have learned since living in this cursed state is that LDS people are loud, but non LDS people tend to yell louder when their turf gets treaded on (okay, I take this back. The non LDS community usually just lets themselves get walked on). So, the beer stayed. Speaking of beer (I still can't get over this one): recently a bunch of parents (presumably LDS) got pissed because alcohol is sold in grocery stores. They were afraid their kids would pick some up and drink it (which seems stupid to me). So, they raised Cain and now alcohol is off store shelves. Beer is still sold, but it has to have clearly "this contains alcohol" on the bottle. Many manufacturers refuse to change their labels for one state and thus: grocery stores only have about 3 kinds of beer. So, I guess it's a trade up. We get to keep Polygamy Porter but we have to buy all spirits from state liquor stores...

All wine AND spirits are

All wine AND spirits are only sold in state stores here in PA. Wineries can sell the wine they make - only exception. Beer is only sold in bars or distributors - not legal to sell in stores - been that way since before I was born.

I really think laws like

I really think laws like that are arbitrary. Usually they are made to keep kids from drinking. I hate to say it, but if a kid is going to drink, they'll do it whether alcohol is sold in grocery stores or not.
