"Now let us download the holy tweet of the Lord." "Stop making this relatable." "As a youth, if I don't hear a computer word every sentence," "I am outta here." "Duly noted."

"I've been working my Bible to the bone trying to save that man." "Ned, God has never given up on anyone." "What about Sodom and Gomorrah?" "He lovingly destroyed them." "Instead of pushing Homer away, can't you find a way to reach out and bring him in? Our Bible study group is going to the Holy Land, next month." "I'd like you and your family to come." "Let me think..." "Take my family to a war zone, on a bus filled with religious lame-os, in a country with no pork, in a desert with no casinos..." "Where do I sign up?" "I can hear your sarcasm from inside the house." "And the dishwasher's on!" "What's going on here?" "M. Flanders invited us to Israel." "He wants to get Dad into heaven." "Great." "More hell for me." "Ned Flanders, you would take us to the Holy Land just to try to make my husband a better man?" "Yep." "I also want to try something called "pita bread."" "Well, we will take you up on your offer."

"But the breakfast buffet at the hotel, which is included in our package, closes in ten minutes!" "Homer, that's not why we're here." "We can see the stations of the cross." "After we see the stations of the omelet bar." "Okay, let's just put it to a vote." "I can't believe we lost, reverend." "These blueberry muffins are bigger than the ones we had at Pechanga." "Finally, something you like better than Pechanga." "Okay, everybody." "Please shut your face." "Here we go." "This sacred spot on Mount Zion is King David's tomb." "Also, where your Jesus, who was a native-born Israeli, sandals, circumcised, perfect English accent, the whole deal."

"Okay, that's it." "Because of him, no Armenian quarter." "Forget it." "It's gone." "All thanks to Mr. Listen-for-free." "Lord, please help Homer experience the redemptive power of this sacred land." "He's going for the record!" "Flanders, you're not supposed to help him." "Yeah, thanks a lot, Flanders." "Do you think you could show the slightest bit of reverence?" "Ned, I'm an American tourist." "I'm just here to see some sights, try goofy new food and spread some shekels with my Carolina Panthers credit card." "Panthers!" "Could you at least turn the camera off?" "If you say it like Dracula, I will." "Please..." "That is going right on stupidflanders.org." "You know, you might really benefit from opening your heart to the spirituality of this place." "Please, neighbor?" "This really means a lot to you, huh?" "Yes, but it means more to you." "Boy, are you lousy at reading minds." "For you, I'll try." "Lord, I think I may have finally reached him..." "Homer, quit playing that back." "I'm not." "It's my ring tone." "Yello." "This is he."

"This is the most sacred spot in Christendom, not your backyard hammock!" "I'm sorry." "It's just that these tours are so exhausting." "You're jet-lagged." "You're walking around all day." "It's so hard to sleep knowing Marge and the kids are all stuck in one small room, and..." "It's so nice and cool" " in the tomb of the unknown savior." " Unknown?" "!" "This is the tomb of the most famous man who ever lived!" " Porky pig?" "!" " Porky pig's not a man!" "He's a pig, and he's not even a real pig!" "But he is buried here, right?" "That's it!" "I'm losing it!" "I'm losing it!" "You come all the way to Jerusalem, the happiest place on earth, and all the photos in your camera are of funny soda pops?" "!" "Will you..." "You are such a..." "Chickpea fizz!" " Delete." "Delete." "Delete." " Whatever." "It's your camera." "Please, you've got to let me back in." "I sold 6,000 rolls of wrapping paper to get here." "That's your problem." "You, my friend, are banned from ever entering this church again." "B-banned for life?" "Homer, do you know why I'm a Christian?" " Your parents made you?" " It's because I believe every soul has the possibility of salvation." "At least I thought so till now." "Homer Simpson, you are not worth saving." "What?"

"Oh, yeah." "Got to keep track of those." "The Messiah... has the passports." " Dad, are you okay?" " I am more than okay!" "I am the Messiah, come to save the world!" " Look upon me and shudder!" " I already do that." "Messiah?" " Can I have a word with your wife?" " As you wish." "But look not upon her with lust, and do not send her friendly e-mails." "That's how it begins." "Homer is suffering from what's called "Jerusalem syndrome."" "Jerusalem syndrome:" "the name given to religious delusions or psychoses that occur when people visit Jerusalem."

"Attention, Christians, Muslims and Jews:" "I have come to gather you into a new faith." "From now on, you shall be called..." "Chrismujews." "I don't know." "Because when you get down to it, aren't all religions the same?" "They tell you what to eat, when to pray, how this imperfect clay that we call man can mold itself to resemble the divine." "But we can never attain that ultimate grace while there is hatred in our hearts for each other." "I did it." "I reached him." "Celebrate your commonality." "Some of us don't eat pork."

"If I made any sense today, it's because all the stuff you've told me all these years has finally seeped in." "Can I buy you a $12 turkey sandwich?" "I'd like that." "How about a Greg Norman executive putter from the Sky Mall?" "You'd get a better deal at a mall back home." "They have malls on land?"
