The problem with religion OK upfront, I AM a believer, I am just not sure what is out there. I just cannot believe that we are some accident. Having said all that, the following joke I just got sums up the problem with religion perfectly: I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said, "Stop! Don't do it!" "Why shouldn't I?" he said. I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!" He said, "Like what?" I said, "Well, are you religious or atheist?" He said, "Religious." I said, "Me too! Are your Christian or Buddhist?" He said, "Christian." I said, "Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?" He said, "Protestant." I said, Me too! Are your Episcopalian or Baptist?" He said, "Baptist!" I said, "Wow! Me too! Are your Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?" He said, "Baptist Church of God!" I said, "Me too! Are your Original Baptist Church of God or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?" He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God!" I said, "Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915?" He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915!" I said, "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off. |

That was "anti-religious" stuff by the way. I cannot think of a better forum for it. Can you? |
It made me laugh. :) |
SORRY, hypersensitive to religious stuff here. My apologies for a lack of humor! |
Funny or not, this is a forum for secular RECOVERY. Some of us are religious and chose not to incorporate it in our recovery. On that note, I am going to lock this thread and ask that we don't "religion bash" in this forum. Thanks! Alera |
