Dogma

Kit had a post dealing with religion on her blog and it made me think of this joke I once heard.  I can't tell you where it came from so I can't give credit where credit is due, but it fits well I think.  You can swap any group, sect or what ever where ever you like in the joke and it still fits.  It is funny and also not, Unfortunately.....

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump.
I said, “Dont 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.

Being Lutheran, it would have been too much effort to go through all this and we would have just kept walking...

Anyway, being as religion and politics are generally meant to be off limits in friendly respectful blogs, I figured I would break the rules....just because that is me.
