Great picks. Lot of virility and vigor.

George Washington died Catholic. There are three, separate traditions that support this: the order of priests to which belonged the priest who baptized him on his deathbed, a relative of Washington who asserted that it was told in the family, and the lineage of slaves who decended from the slaves present when he died who were witnesses. There is also a lot of circumstnatial evidence: he forbade the burining in effigy of the pope, he went to Mass sometimes, he made the sign of the cross, and he had a painting of Mary. Google it.

Also, Mind If I Join You, Gentlemen? adorns the wall in my bar/poker/game room. Everyone that comes over compliments it.

@ Kelly: You’re wrong. I’ve read many books about G.W. and he constantly referred to (prayed to) God (Providence), especially throughout The Revolution.

You can view more of his work and read more about Arnold, and even view a video of Arnold himself discussing his painting Prayer at Valley Forge–the inspiration, the research he did to make it historically accurate, etc. at http://www.bnr-art.com/‘friberg .
He really lived a fascinating life.

“you can’t tell me that God did not have anything to do with United States winning the Revolutionary war.”

Yes I can. Or are YOU going to tell me that the British, and the hundreds of thousands of ‘Tories’ and loyalists, and all the slaves who fled to British lines, were the Servants of Satan, or some such nonsense?

Meanwhile, you should read up some time on the subject of George Washington and land-speculation. Any credible biography will do. And while you’re at it, you could google the Oneida tribe and see what happened to their lands in the years after independence. A clue: they didn’t get to keep them.

I was fortunate to have met Arnold Friberg and be invited into his home. I got to just talk to him about life, nothing truly in-depth, no stories from his life, but we just had a good talk. I also was able to see the original painting of the Prayer at Valley Forge. It’s absolutely breathtaking.

I love Fribergs paintings, like previously mentioned he has done some amazing ones for the LDS Book of Mormon.
And I would like to share a little quote for our friend John, “Surrender the fort, in the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress!” – Ethan Allen. Ethan Allen led the first American attack on the fort Fort Ticonderoga. Before saying the quote above he called out the to the British Commander call him an “Old Rat” Allen and all the other founding fathers knew exactly why this Country was so necessary, freedom of speech, press, assembly, petition and in my opinion most important, religion. And you can’t tell me that God did not have anything to do with United States winning the Revolutionary war. This country was founded on God, not money.
