An old joke that is still relevant today.
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 Conservative†Baptist 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.

Ouch. Religion so often IS divisive.
This ought to be a lot funnier than it is.
That's about the size of it!
Sue - Too often.
Bill - Wouldn't that be nice?
Deb - The size of small minds.
Too lifelike to be funny
John - Sorry you had to live it.
Sadly still relevant. Probably always will be.
Kathy - Sad but true.
That was funny.
Hey, I came in to answer your question about Freedom From Religion Foundation. Yes, I have seen their commercials and I happen to be a proud member.
Leanna - Interesting. This puts me one step closer to signing up.
I wasn't expecting that last line!
I thought perhaps he'd step down and they'd wander away for a beer chatting about how much they had in common.
River - The joke could be about Sunni and Shia but it would be a lot shorter.
Please give credit to Emo Phillips for this one...
CS - I'd never heard of Emo Philips before. Turns out he's been around a long time. And thanks for the hint to a lot of new jokes. And who are you? Your website is missing. Change your blogger profile.
