Religion Humour

Rediscovering Carlin, thanks to rape -



More jokes/links joking about religion are welcome, the more offensive the better. :)

So being offensive purely for the sake of so being is a worthy pursuit, is it? Well, if you believe that, you carry on with it, as long as you refrain from indulging your little obsession anywhere near decent human beings.

Not quite, Alistair, but it does seem to be that, presuming the joke is good in the first place, being offensive to easily offended ignorant folks is a deliciously spicy dip to add to the overall flavour of the main course.

You're free to not find anything funny, but that doesn't stop me laughing at you. ;)

Ack!This is an awfully ambiguous statement!

Nevertheless, it's refreshing to see a satire so politically incorrect that it accelerates bits of postmodernism on a very private adventure through the darker recesses of the digestive tract...

Three nuns are standing in line, waiting to get into Heaven.  St. Peter approaches the first one and carries with him a bowl of water and says, "relinquish any sins and inproprieties before entering: if your chastity has been broken, cleanse that part of your body in the holy water."  The first nun blushes and totters in her place for a moment before placing one of her hands in the bown.  The two other nuns have brief words as the first passes through the pearly gates, and quickly the third cuts in front of the second.  When St. Peter asks why, she says, "Because there's no way I'm going to gargle that water after she sticks her ass in it!"

It may be - or indeed at the same time it may not be, depending on who is observing. I am not at all easily offended, so I could say with good reason that it's not a problem for me personally, but that fact doesn't have to stop me from making the remark that I did.

You're free to not find anything funny, but that doesn't stop me laughing at you. ;)
Much as I may in principle be free not to find anything funny, I do in fact find plenty of things funny (not including your attitude here or your split infinitive, however); likewise, you're as free to laugh at whatever may take your fancy as I am not to give a drying duck about those things at which you may or may not be laughing at any given moment.

I'd go laugh at yourself if I were you (which fortunately I am not); at least you could then have carte blanche to decide when, whether and to what extent to laugh at yourself without the burden of anyone else's interference...

Best,

Alistair

Thinking momentarily of young nuns, whatever might you suppose that Schubert would have made of that joke, then?...(!)...

That's OK - we'll all endeavour to forgive you if you promise to try not to make a habit of it...

(Grrr!!!)...
