Good grief, we Christians are still fighting each other, at a time in which the non-Muslim world is fighting to survive against the onslaught of the Islamofacists. No wonder non-Christians speak ill against the Christian Church.

ROTFLMAO!!

That's one of the better ones you've posted from this site.

Hilarious. I'm a southern baptist and so are my two best friends. We often each lunch together with two our other good friends who are A/G pastors of our local college campus ministry, which I still attend from time to time. The converstaions can sometimes be interesting.

Woo-Hooo! The Sword of the Lord, and of Gideon! Cry Potluck, and let slip the parishiners of war!

[AmericanMade1776]

This is a joke, right?

[MarMema]

Good laugh for the day. Thanks!

While the AOG and SBC slog it out, the Reformed will only grow in strength and power! God is indeed providential.

It's just good that the Catholics didn't get involved...

We have missals.

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

"The SBC says they tried to work through the National Association of Evangelicals to bring sanctions against the A/G for "aggressive membership recruitment," but that secret deliberations ended inconclusively, and the SBC decided to act alone."

Well, by golly, that'll show 'em. And what a good example is being set for those who were thinking about giving Christianity an honest try. Why, them dern Christians fight like cats and dogs...

Holy Hand Grenade ping

[justshutupandtakeit]

Pretty funny stuff.

[fortheDeclaration]

A/G officials claimed the strikes had hit Sunday school wings, not church signs, and had injured "dozens of innocent and elderly." The TBN network showed 24-hour footage of young, bandaged Missionettes and Royal Rangers lying in hospital beds ? images the SBC called "trumped up and inflammatory."

Bring in MOAB!

Humor bump for your consideration.

In a follow-on story, the Assemblies of God have contracted with the prophet Elijah to have a church smack-down cage match.

[Quix]

LOL.

What a satire site.

In a 2012 article in the Brisbane Times, Southern Cross University researchers are said to have studied data from the Australian "Household Income Labour Dynamics survey", and found a non-conclusive causal relationship that religion leads to an increase in BMI, and not the other way around. Their findings were published in the Journal of Religion and Health, in an article titled "Religion and BMI in Australia".

In that study, 34 percent of Baptists were found to be overweight, 33 percent of agnostics, and 21 percent of Catholics. The researches did not find any correlation of BMI to frequency of church attendance, however.

Please note that this 2006 thread mentions a then-upcoming "shucks and aww advertising campaign" conducted by the Southern Baptists. Could this campaign have been the reason for the high BMI numbers among Baptists in 2012?

"The ads, set to run in major newspapers beginning Thursday, show smiling, overweight Caucasian families walking into Southern Baptist churches. The SBC hopes to attract more smiling, overweight Caucasian families."
