Jesus Christ is the 13th Greatest American of All Time
 

That's right. Don't ever underestimate the stupidity of the general public. In a poll done by the Luntz Group, run by prominent Republican pollster Frank Luntz, Jesus finished 13th. Ironically he tied with Bill Clinton!

Does anyone here believe Jesus was an American?

Who won?

I'm going to need a link for this one.

The Beatles were probably #1. ;)

Tarkus

The top 10 vote-getters were Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, John F. Kennedy, Theodore Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter.

From the Washington Post. I got the original info from Harper's Index for March 2003.

My mistake, its the Washinton Times. (The one owned by the Moonies!!!) The survey is only 900 people and less than 1% picked Jesus, but still.

Just where the hell is Bryan Adams? Did they leave him off completely?!? :mad:

What was the critiera and who came up with the nomanies?

It is kind of weird that Carter and Reagan are in the top 10.

interesting,
but a nice example of the headline being funnier than it really is.

"Nearly 900 adult Americans" were polled.
"Jesus Christ and Bill Clinton tied for 13th, with 1 percent each of the vote".

so, 8, maybe 9 people chose the funny response - not hard to picture 9 people with a sense of humor. There's almost that many people at the FOFC who have one...

Exactly!

So Americans are stupid ? No, I can't believe that :D :cool:

Of course Jesus was an American! Heck, his blue eyes and light brown hair prove it.

We take everything that's good in this world and make it ours at some point, so why not?

from the people that brought you escargo

escargot ;)

I dont care what you got, eating snails aint too bright

Fritz : What's even worse is that I like that !

FYI : I just had an hamberger for lunch today (my first one in 5 years...)

Down in South Georgia, some restaurants are now selling "freedom fries" rather than "french fries." I love it!

Yeah, I also had french fries with my burger !

Hamburger (unless you ate a German)

Re: Re: Jesus Christ is the 13th Greatest American of All Time
 

That's okay, Alf, we think Judas was French, too. ;)


Once again, Fritz is on a roll. This is hilarious on multiple levels.

I don't know who I'd vote for, but it sure as hell wouldn't be a President.

Re: Jesus Christ is the 13th Greatest American of All Time
 

Mormons. :rolleyes:

LOL, and [JOKE] Judas is my cousin.. [/JOKE]
JOKE quote inserted because of touchy subject right now

And you are right Fritz I didn't eat an Hamberger for lucnh, but an hamburger...

Re: Re: Jesus Christ is the 13th Greatest American of All Time
 

Wrong.

Re: Re: Re: Jesus Christ is the 13th Greatest American of All Time
 

Are you saying that the answer is politcally incorrect or that he is wrong in saying that mormons claim Jesus is an American? I don't much the mormon religon, but they do seem to force things onto you about their beliefs. I am not trying to step on any toes or anything but they do.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Jesus Christ is the 13th Greatest American of All Time
 

Mormons believe Jesus came to America.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Jesus Christ is the 13th Greatest American of All Time
 

did he have a green card or was he an illegal alien?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Jesus Christ is the 13th Greatest American of All Time
 

Does it matter? If he came to California he still got free health care.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Jesus Christ is the 13th Greatest American of All Time
 

That is interesting. Where exactly do they think he went to in America?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Jesus Christ is the 13th Greatest American of All Time
 

Feel free to call the nearest Temple. They'd be happy to have a couple of guys bike on over and tell you. If you're lucky you can get sister missionairies

Wafflehouse

You do that and you'll get spammed for the rest of your life. Far as I've heard, he gathered the lost tribe, brought them over to America and that's how we got the native indians.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Jesus Christ is the 13th Greatest American of All Time
 

If he went to wafflehouse, I can understand why he returned to the Middle East.

Why did Native Americans have a polythestic belief then? And I looked in the phone book, and there are no mormon churches nearby.

Jesus could walk on water, I suppose during that gap between his birth and when he appears in the new testament, he could've walked over to the U.S. but this was all prior to the United States, so I guess it's a moot point.

That is a long walk.

Classic

Everyone knows the greatest American was Leonardo da Vinci.




:D

The Ninja Turtle? Hmmmm. I may agree.

If anyone could do it, I'm guessing Christ could...I'd put money down on Christ on everything...

I happen to know that Jesus could never get the hang of Double Dutch.

You tellin' me Christ could walk on water, but can't jump rope?

Sure he could jump rope. I am just saying he could not double dutch.

Wrong.

I thought he had problems hitting the curve?

Do you know how difficult the Double Dutch is? But I think Jesus could do it. I heard he was quite an athlete.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Jesus Christ is the 13th Greatest American of All Time
 

I can't seem to find the specific details right now beyond ... "God commanded Lehi to lead a small group of people to the American continent. There they became a great civilization."

However, if you're really curious, I'd suspect there's more details in the Book of Mormon. It just so happens they'll be happy to drop by your house with a copy if you'll just fill out this form

i want to know what his middle initial 'H' stood for.

Hallmark... because God cared enough to send the very best.

Excuse me?

heybrad is saying that Jesus could infact do the double dutch.

It is a well known fact that he can not.

Two things Jesus can not do:

Tie his shoelaces
Double Dutch

I also hear that the Karate Kid can kick his ass, but this is speculation.

Did I stutter?

While this one is technically right the point is moot. Jesus was smart enough to buy Velcro shoes.

Just goes to show just how lost some people are.

It is really sad!

People cant make a joke?

LOL Just think, if Jesus came back today he'd probably be heavily scrutinized by the FBI. :eek: The son of God's Middle Eastern features would make everyone at an airport nervous.

Of course Jesus came to america. Just oen reason and two words why. Las Vegas. Sin City baby. Jesus loves to play blackjack.

Seriously, though. Jesus gets voted for EVERY topic. I saw him voted #1 for best musician for the 20th century once. I doubt it's a joke. It's a movement that's been around since the first open-ended internet polls.

I think what he is referring to is the fact that some people think Jesus Christ is an American.

Not the jokes, but this is all speculation on my part.

I thought he was referring to my Velcro shoe post. I can confirm that. My wife worked at Payless Shoes.

Well he could have been. And can your wife hook me up?

Also I noticed there has not been one hey brad post on here.

I think we all should be proud.

yes, your sig mentions the dallas cowboys. probably the most lost group of people on planet earth. they can't even read a map.

And who said the Cowboys were America's team?

Jesus when he moved to Dallas.

Maybe the voters were voting for this guy.

or this guy,

or maybe this guy,

maybe even this guy,

but probably not this guy since his middle initial is "A",

Christ, Jesus A

That reminds me, a coworker of mine told me the other day he wouldn't vote for someone if they did not share the same religious background as him. I about shit myself when I heard that.

Wow that is alot of information you found out there.

I think Fritz should prank call a couple of them, and then upload the MP3.

What no, Jesus H. Christ?!?!?

There was a local news report on out here the other day about budget cuts for the state of minnesota, and some people were outraged that illegal immigrants would no longer have health care.

Of course, there were also people here who cried 'racist' at a proposal for drivers licenses for people on visas to expire when their visas did, and that were offended at a proposal for a concelled carry law that had a requirement to be a legal us citizen.

Bastards at the Department of Children, Family, and Happy Thoughts

thank you.


In related news, I caught some of his act on comedy central. Jesus can't tell a titty joke.
