Religious difference

[rkaiser]

A little boy was walking down a dirt road after church one
Sunday afternoon when he came
to a crossroads where he met a little girl
coming from the other direction.


'Hi,' said the little girl.

'Where are you going?' asked the little boy.

'I've been to church this morning and I'm on my way
home,' answered the little girl.

'I'm also on my way home from church. Which church
do you go to?' asked the little boy.

'I go to the Catholic church down the road,' replied
the little girl.

'What about you?

'I go to the Lutheran church back at the top of the
hill,' replied the little boy.

They discover that they are both going the same way so they
decided that they'd walk together.

They came to a low spot in the road where spring
rains had partially flooded the road, so
there was no way that they could get across
to the other side without getting wet.

'If I get my new Sunday dress wet, my Mom's going to skin me
alive,' said the little girl.

'My Mom will tan my hide, too, if I get my new Sunday suit wet,'
replied the little boy.

'I'll tell you what I think I'll do,' said the little girl. 'I'm
gonna pull off all my clothes and hold them over my head and wade across.'

'That's a good idea,'replied the little boy. 'I'm going to do
the same thing with my suit.'

So they both undressed and waded across to the other side without
getting their clothes wet.

They were standing there in the sun waiting to drip dry before
putting their clothes back on, when the little boy finally remarked:

'You know, up until now I never realized how much difference
there is between a CATHOLIC and a LUTHERAN!

lol cute as pie.

I don't get it. Does this mean there are pricks in the Lutheran Church but none in the Church of Rome?

[rkaiser]

OMG Braveheart --- never thought of that... What with all the pedophilia these days..

[Braveheart]

Despite your fun little story, I think the Church of Rome has that market cornered.

Little Jimmy was sitting on a curb in Dublin just crying his eyes out when Mr.O'leary came walking by. Stopping, he asked "Why Jimmy, what is the Matter?" "Me mother died last night in her sleep", Jimmy replied. "On my, how dreadful!" replied O'leary. "Shall I fetch Father O'Malley to comfort you dear boy?" "Oh no Mr. O'leary", replied Jimmy - "The last thing on me mind is sex right now".

For me to think a tread is crossing the line takes quite a bit, but this?

I tend to think I have a good sense of humour. ..

First post was cute but subsequent posts....well, let's just say I don't know....

I agree with you Farmaholic. Not going to get even started. Braveheart, the comment you made, not sure it would even be worth praying for your health and well being. On the other hand I see were you are coming from. Just like farmers have the market cornered on being the biggest crooks, brain dead and most selfish people in the world?

[Braveheart]

Join the club. I've been told my whole life I'm not worth saving. I'm a bad seed.

[farmaholic]

I guess what disgusts me most is the trust that is broke by those who are put in a position of trust, especially when it comes to vulnerable powerless children. I guess we need to be sensitive to the victims but not so much to the offenders. But not all of the people in the group that the real offenders belong to need to be painted with the stroke of the big wide brush.

Well said farmaholic. Thus the reason "Rat"zinger has to hide out at the Vatican for fear of being arrested and put in front of numerous tribunals around the world. Including the group that Kevin Annett supports. Kevin has written a new book on the subject and especially the involvement of the Royal Family in the abuse and genocide in the missionary schools on native lands her in Canada. Pathetic superstitious activity by a few lost individuals does not give rise to judgement of a larger group. Kinda like lumping Islam into terrorist activity.

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.

Well Braveheart - perhaps you've struck upon the equivalent of provoking Christian religion with drawing cartoons mocking Mohammed. Lock your doors.

[Braveheart]

True enough. Am now barricaded. Just remind them though, Ancestors oral traditions passed down recipes for cooking Jesuits.

[farmaholic]

Now there's a magical word, religion. People following history books written by men.

[farmaholic]

Braveheart, there is no mention of consumption, was it just a recreational pastime? Or a Master Chef competition with judges? Elaborate please.
