:D Central Florida is fucking shit mind. The Brits seem to love it though. Mind, I'd be tempted to go to that place.

 

Got to take you to task there.....

 

Orlando is brilliant. Theme parks, water parks, Guns, roaming aligators, Sea world, quality food and lots of lovely old white haired folk.

Orlando is absolutely shit in my opinion. If I won a free trip there I'd think twice about going.

You guys know the Trinity Broadcasting Network mentioned in the scrollwork on the graphic have their own cable channel here, right? It's terrible. I even tried watching it stoned and it still isn't fun.

 

Orlando isn't bad, but I'd much rather hang out at Jax Beach or St. Augustine's.

Now my biblical knowledge is limited, but didn't Jesus get a bit miffed when money lenders and stall holders opened up in a temple? What would he have made of a theme park based on the bible? Especially one that sells over priced coffee etc.

Have you never seen the Tele-Evangelists over there? There's the number for your credit card donations constantly scrolling along the bottom of the screen. 1-800-PRAISE THE LORD :D

Still have to pinch myself when I think that the world's only superpower is utterly obsessed with worshipping a Middle-Eastern tribal God of old. Could have at least got themselves their own one.

 

What about that Creationist Museum as well? :D

Even the one they made up that did well (Mormonism) is Jesus based.

 

 

I've read some stuff that suggests the religiosity goes back to the pilgrims being persecuted fundamentalists but that can't explain it all as lots of immigrants came for other reasons (though Irish, Italian, Polish and Mexican immigration doesn't help from a Catholic pov)

 

I've also read that the existence of the secular constitutional clauses which as outsiders we all admire have actually made it easier for insanity to propogate unlike Europe where notional state religions are both more universal but at the same time relaxed.

All the religious stuff was taken over there by the Germans and Dutch initially....

The Pilgrim fathers were there before them weren't they? Weren't they persecuted English puritans predominantly from the South-West. To blame for the kerayzee gun laws as well I think.

Not sure the space shuttle takes off every day; the next two are for kids; golf, fair enough if you're into that (doubt many on here are); and Hooters - wtf?! :D

 

Probably depends if you're a Las Vegas person or not, Florida's never really appealed to me personally (the fact you have to drive EVERYWHERE is a pisser as well). Only 2 weeks left til I hit Cuba though. :D
