It’s only bigotry if they don’t do communion the right way ~ we’ve passed way beyond being overly concerned with traditional baptism ~ of course!


I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said, "Stop! Don't do it!"
"Why shouldn't I?" he said.
 
I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!"
He said, "Like what?"
 
I said, "Well...are you religious or atheist?"
He said, "Religious."
 
I said, "Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?"
He said, "Christian."
 
I said, "Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?"
He said, "Protestant."
 
I said, "Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"
He said, "Baptist!"
 
I said,"Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of GOD or Baptist Church of the Lord?"
He said, "Baptist Church of GOD!"
 
I said, "Me too! Are you Original Baptist Church of GOD, or are you Reformed Baptist Church of GOD?"
He said,"Reformed Baptist Church of GOD!"
 
I said, "Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of GOD, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of GOD, reformation of 1915?"
He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of GOD, reformation of 1915!"
 
I said, "Die, heretic scum", and pushed him off.

This is almost the case with the various divisions of the Old Apostolic Lutheran Church. They all seem to have the same crazy rules ~ no dancing, no music, no sweet pies, no french fries, no this, no that and NO DOCTORS. But they put their commas in the statement of faith in different places, and each little group excommunicates the others.

All except the doctor thing applies to all their groups since there are two large divisions ~ those who came to America from about 1830 on don't even know of those who came to America from about 1638 on and both bodies speak of the others as though they are a fiction.
