We were talking to WorkLad about a poster we saw on Ashes to Ashes last week.

He muttered that it must have been just a poster, not a canvas, as they didn’t have canvas prints back in the 80’s, then he looked confused and asked “How come they didn’t have canvas prints in the 80’s, when they already had them back when Jesus was alive?”

We wondered which part of the bible he’d read which mentioned Jesus having a canvas print. He replied that the bible is always talking about tapestries.

I pushed him on the point and said I don’t remember Jesus being famous for his particular love of tapestries, to which he pointed out that Jesus used to make them for a living.

I further queried the point.

He said, Jesus used to make them for a living, he was a carpenter.

I asked what he understood a carpenter to be

“somebody who fits carpets”..

He also stated that Mary was a florist.  No explanation for that, it’s just something he knows.

He later informed us that he failed RE at school
