On a lighter note, an old Baptist joke with a teeny grain of truth about the culture of Baptist churches:



I was walking in San Francisco along the Golden Gate Bridge when I saw a man about to jump off. I tried to dissuade him from committing suicide and told him simply that God loved him. A tear came to his eye. I then asked him, "Are you a Christian or a Jew or a Hindu, or what?" He said, "I'm a Christian." I said, "Me, too, small world. Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me too, what franchise?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Well, me too. Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Well, call Ripley! Northern Conservative Fundamentalist Baptist or Northern Conservative Reformed Baptist?" He said, "Northern Conservative Reformed Baptist." I said, "Remarkable! Northern Conservative Reformed Baptist Great Lakes Region or Northern Conservative Reformed Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Reformed Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "It's a miracle! Northern Conservative Reformed Baptist Great Lakes Region 1879 or Northern Conservative Reformed Baptist Great Lakes Region of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Reformed Baptist Great Lakes Region of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" and pushed him over.


I thought Race, as a General Baptist, might enjoy this old chestnut.
