Regarding Bob Ross’ Faith

Bob Ross was Christian. The article about him states “not a member of any specific organized religion” as a covert means to imply he wasn’t Christian, and he in fact was.

This is dishonest and disingenuous and needs to be fixed. Believein729 (talk) 13:54, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Believein729. Wikipedia articles summarize what published, reliable sources say. The source for his religious beliefs is this lengthy article. Do you have another published source that describes him as a Christian? Cullen328 (talk) 17:32, 24 February 2023 (UTC)

I have just watched an episode of The Joy Of Painting called "Nature's Splendor in which Bob Ross said, "Shoot if you want violence, turn the news on!" Here on Wikipedia, the line is "Shoot, if you want the bad stuff, watch the news." I believe the earlier line is more correct. 97.84.184.49 (talk) 01:34, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Is there some reason why this quotation is better in some way? The one currently in the article, (the quote starting at 17:58 here) appears to be from an earlier episode (S17E12) than the one you reference (starting at 8:15 here), which is S17E12. I would think that the earlier quote is more appropriate here unless there's a particular reason otherwise. Tollens (talk) 08:02, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

Ross was well known for phrases he tended to repeat while painting, such as "let's add some happy little trees".[25]

Alexander refers here to the fact that Bob Ross used some of his individual patter like "happy little trees" and borrowed some of his unique peculiarities. [citation]
