This morning I received thrilling news: a joke I wrote more than 20 years ago has been voted the funniest religious joke of all time! In case you've missed it, here it is:
Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump.
I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"
He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"
He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"
Northern ConservativeBaptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.
Ha. Funniest joke I have seen in years. I grew up Baptist (I won’t tell you which kind of Baptist)
Thank you for posting that Quix. I guess I haven’t heard it for close to twenty years.
I used to think the FR community would be the people whom I could trust in a revolution. Now, I would be afraid of being shot in the back.
Jim Robinson has been way more congenial to folks calling him names and supporting his enemies than I ever would have been.
The goal is a more Conservative America - pro-life, pro-family, pro-God.
If it is too late to see that happen nationally (and it may not be yet) we can still help it happen individually.
CUTE JOKE! If you wrote that, phenomenal work!
I think that describes the situation perfectly!
