Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a true history of England

Post by Zeezrom »

For behold there is new and previously unrevealed scripture found within this movie concerning the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. “….thou shalt pull out the Holy Pin and thou shalt count to three. Three is the number of the counting and the number of the counting is three….”

How could comedic Englishmen from the 1970s possibly have known the ancient Hebrew practice of inserting chiasmus in their writing??????

Zeezrom, would you consider submitting this as an article to the Interpreter Foundation Online Journal? They are constantly looking for new proof to show the Church is true. This seems way more substantive than that Nahom stuff.

Maybe the Interpreter Foundation could hook you up with a More Good grant. They have already paid BYU professor Royal Skousen over $300,000 to develop his theory that the Book of Mormon was written by a ghost committee of medieval English bards.

Additionally, how could Monty Python have known about the popularity of Spam without a prophetic calling? Now they even make sushi with Spam!!! Spam, Spam, Spam! My daughter and I even had some Hawaiian Spam sushi last week, so perhaps this was designed for me to bear my testimony of Monty Python and the restored sushi ingredient.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

It may be a true history. Ammon cut off a bunch of bandit’s arms. I may be wrong, but I think the BoM quotes one of those bandits as saying, “That is but only a flesh wound.”

Isn't there also something in there as well about slapping with fishes?

Imagine if a powerful, shrewd, and very wealthy church assigned it's university professors and paid apologists to come up with a body of work that defends the veracity of The Holy Grail to create the appearance of historicity. Then we wouldn't have to bother ourselves with questions about it's truthfulness. Really smart guys would have done all of the heavy lifting for us and we could Facebook each other endlessly about all of the amazing supportive evidence. Same for Lord of the Rings, The Wizard of Oz, what have ya.
