We live in a sad world. Perhaps that's why we need have all kinds of religion to give us hope and consolation. Three of the world's established religions all worship the same God, the God of Abraham: the Jewish, the Christian and the Muslims. Yet adherents in the three religions all seem to think that the others are wrong and that they only hold the eternal truths about God. That makes the world an even sadder place. And what's even worse, the Christian world is divided against itself into two large groups called Protestants and Catholics. The Protestants are further divided into Methodists, Lutherans, Baptists, Pentecostals, Unionists etc and the Catholics into Anglicans, Roman Catholics and Orthodox Catholics. God must have a difficult time deciding which group to help in a war. Whatever the mysterious thoughts of the almighty and all knowing God may be, that should not stop us from having a little Saturday fun.
THE IRISH BROTHEL
Three Irishmen are sitting in the pub window seat, watching the front door of the brothel over the road.
The local Methodist pastor appears, and quickly goes inside.
"Would you look at that!" says the first Irishman. "Didn't I always say what a bunch of hypocrites they are?"
No sooner are the words out of his mouth than a Rabbi appears at the door, knocks and goes inside.
"Another one trying to fool everyone with pious preaching and stupid hats!" says the second Irishman.
They continue drinking their beer roundly condemning the vicar and the rabbi when they see their own Catholic priest knock on the door.
"Ah, now dat's sad." says the third Irishman. "One of the girls must have died..."
Have a nice weekend
