Religion and humor

[Anonymous]

pretty please?

Ok, Let's say, for the sake of argument, that "religion" is not man-made -- it is sent by God.

What about all the different religions and denominations within religions, were those all sent by God?

What about, for instance, the recent division in the Episcopal church over recognizing gay marriage and gay clergy -- Did God send that?

See, it's side tracks like this that make some of us think atheists are humorless AND unable to stick to the thread subject. Toddle off and start your own thread, thanks.

Hey - this was in response to 18:04 who said "It sounds like you're saying, both the FSM and religion are man- made inventions." So why not chastise that poster -- or better yet, just ignore the side-track and get back to talking about religious humor.

I opened this thread really hoping for a thread on good religious jokes. You have to know your audience, but religious jokes can be really funny! My latest favorite:

A Higgs Boson walks into a cathedral right in the middle of the priest's homily. The priest yells, "HEY! No theoretical particles allowed in here!" And the Higgs Boson looks up and says, "But without me, you can't have mass!"

And another recent one I like:

How many Episcopalians does it take to change a light bulb? Three. One to call the electrician, one to mix the drinks, and one to stand around whining about how much better the old bulb was.

And 18:04 was responding to ... 17:45, a humorless atheist. (Sorry, but we can all read the thread history.) Let's invite 17:45 to start his own thread on the theology of the FSM, shall we?

Inscription on a Ahteist's tombstone:

Here lies an Atheist
All dressed up
And no place to go.

A woman dies and goes to heaven, and St. Peter takes her on a tour. They pass a pit where people were gnashing their teeth and wailing, and the woman asks, “Who’s down there?”
St. Peter says, “Oh, those are the Catholics who ate meat on Fridays.”
They walk a little farther and there’s another pit with more groaning and wailing, and she says, “Okay, who’s down there?”
St. Peter answers, “Those are the Baptists who went to dances.”
A little farther along, there’s another pit filled with people gnashing their teeth and crying and ripping their garments. The woman asks, “And those people?”
St. Peter replies, “Those are the Episcopalians who ate their salads with their fish forks.”

I want that on mine! But I won't have a tombstone. Maybe on my deathbed I can wear a tshirt with that saying.

Atheist: What’s this fly doing in my soup?
Waiter: Praying.
Atheist: Very funny. I can’t eat this. Take it back.
Waiter: You see? The fly’s prayers were answered.

Q: Why can’t atheists solve exponential equations? A: Because they don’t believe in higher powers.

Yeah, that one crossed the line from religious humor into racist.
