Chalk Board Gag:

I WILL NOT DEFAME NEW ORLEANS (See Notes)


Storyline:

The epsiode starts with a dream from Homer. He is seen as a baby inside a womb, who is suddenly pulled outwards. Back in the real world, Homer is half asleep being dragged from the bed by Marge, informing him it is church time. Homer tells her it is too cold out to go, and we see a polar bear going through the Simpson trash. Homer makes a 'split decision' when his church pants rip, refusing to go to church.

Meanwhile a moody Marge is driving the kids to church. At home, Homer is having what is fast becoming the best day of his life. He is able to pee with the door open, dance in just a pair of underpants and slippers and make his Patented Space Age Outta This World Moon Waffles. That, plus a lucky penny, a game of football, and winning a radio contest. Homer considers creating a religion based on blasphemy, only encouraged by a visit of God himself!

However, when sleeping upon the couch, a cigar falls from his mouth, setting the house into flames. Only then does he realise that God is loving and helping, and he soon converts back into Christianity.


Memorable Conversations:

Homer (As Baby In Dream): Ahh, another beautiful day in the womb. La la laa la la... *Suddenly, the water around him vanishes, and a hand reaches out and grabs him*
Homer (In Bed): Let Go! Let Go! I'm all naked and wet!


Homer: Im whizzing with the door open, and I love it!


Reverand Lovejoy: *Reading from bible* And he was cast into the fiery cauldron of hell! The searing heat! The scolding rivers of molten sulphur!
Bart: Ahh, I'm there!


Lisa: *Kneels inside the church bowing her head in prayer, as people attempt to open the frozen doors of the church* Father, Who art in heaven...
Bart: Lisa! This is neither the time, nor the place!


Marge: Homer, are you actually giving up your faith?
Homer: No, no, no, no, no, noo...well, yes.


Homer: Whats the big deal about going to some building very Sunday? I mean, isn't God everywhere?
Bart: Amen, brother!
Homer: And don't you think the almighty has better things to do than wonder where one guy spends one measly hour of his week?
Bart: Tell it, daddy!
Homer: And what if we've picked the wrond religion? Every week we're just making God madder and madder!
Bart: *Claps, and waves his arms* Testify!


Lisa: Dad, can I ask you a question?
Homer: Sure, honey?
Lisa: Why are you dedicationg your life to blasphemy?
Homer: Don't worry. If I'm wrong I'll recant on my death bed.


Homer: God himself said I should seek a new path.
Reverand Lovejoy: Oh, Really?
Homer: Yeh. He appeared before me in a dream and I knew it was special becuase I usually dream about naked...Marge.


Homer: And you remember Matthew 21-17...
Reverand Lovejoy: And he left them and went out of the city into Bethany and he lodged there?
Homer: *Pointing* Yeah...Think about it.
Homer: Kids, let me tell you about another 'wicked' guy. He had long hair and some wild ideas and he didn't always do what other people thought was right. And that man's name was...I forget. But the point is...urr, I forget that too. Marge you know who I'm talking about. He drove that blue car.


Homer: No offense Apu, but when they were handing out religions you must have been taking a whizz.
Apu: Mr Simpson! Please pay for your purchases, get out and come again!


Homer: Our magazines and roach traps. Gone! All Gone!


Barney: Hey what are these axes for?
Chief Wiggum: I dunno, chopping stuff.
Barney: Gotcha *Starts chopping at the Simpsons mail box*
Chief Wiggum: That's some nice chopping.


Kent Brockman: Fire. Mans oldest foe. Insatiable, remorseless, unquenchable...
Chief Wiggum: Hey, it's out!
Firemen: Yeyy!
Kent Brockamn: Coming up next! Which work better? Springy clothes pins or the other kind!


Notes:

The chalkboard gag (I will not defame New Orleans) was to apologise for the previous episodes song about New Orleans, which stated it was a place of piracy, where drunkards and whores lived.

Homers patented Space Age Outta This World Moon waffles contain: Caramel, Waffle Miz and Liquid Smoke - followed by a full block of butter.

The album Homer calls into the KBBL contest line is 'These Things I Beleive' by Johnny Calhoun.

Two of Homers best days of his life are: his marriage to Marge and when a tankard of Duff crashed, spraying it's contents onto Homer, who is wearing swim shorts and dancing in the puddle.

In this episode we see God, the only character in the Simpsons to feature five fingers instead of the usual four.

Homer skips church to stay in and watch 'How to Make Your Own Ladder'.
