So, what say we post some religious jokes? My mom sent me this one, what's your favorite?
______________
An American golfer playing in Ireland hooked his drive into the woods. Looking for his ball, he found a little Leprechaun flat on his back, a big bump on his head and the golfer's ball beside him. Horrified, the golfer got his water bottle from the cart and poured it over the little guy, reviving him.
"Arrgh! What happened?" the Leprechaun asked.
"I'm afraid I hit you with my golf ball," the golfer says.
"Oh, I see. Well, ye got me fair and square. Ye get three wishes, so whaddya want?"
"Thank God, you're all right!" the golfer answers in relief. "I don't want anything, I'm just glad you're OK, and I apologize." And the golfer walks off.
"What a nice guy," the Leprechaun says to himself. "I have to do something for him. I'll give him the three things I would want... a great golf game, all the money he ever needs, and a fantastic sex life.
" A year goes by (as it does in stories like this) and the American golfer is back. On the same hole, he again hits a bad drive into the woods and the Leprechaun is there waiting for him.
"Twas me that made ye hit the ball here," the little guy says. "I just wanted to ask ye, how's yer golf game?"
"My game is fantastic!" the golfer answers. "I'm an internationally famous golfer now." He adds, "By the way, it's good to see you're all right."
"Oh, I'm fine now, thank ye. I did that fer yer golf game, you know. And tell me, how's yer money situation?"
"Why, it's just wonderful!" the golfer states. "When I need cash, I just reach in my pocket and pull out $100.00 bills I didn't even know were there!"
"I did that fer ye also. And tell me, how's yer sex life?"
The golfer blushes, turns his head away in embarrassment, and says shyly, "It's OK."
"C'mon, c'mon now," urged the Leprechaun, "I'm wanting to know if I did a good job. How many times a week?"
Blushing even more now, the golfer looks around then whispers, "Once, sometimes twice a week."
"What??" responds the Leprechaun in shock. "That's all? Only once or twice a week?"
"Well," says the golfer, "I figure that's not bad for a Catholic priest in a small parish."

Re: Religious humor...
Mon, August 7, 2006 - 9:36 PMHere's another one...
The Nun's Secret
The new nun goes to her first confession.
She tells the priest that she has a terrible secret.
The priest then tells her that her secret is safe in the sanctity of the confessional.
She says, "Father, I never wear panties under my habit."
The priest chuckles and says, "That's not so serious, Sister Bernadette. Say five Hail Marys, five Our Fathers, and do five cartwheels on your way to the altar." -

Re: Religious humor...
Mon, August 14, 2006 - 9:09 AMSo, this should be "Denegrating Catholic Humor". Please call it what it is. It's not "religious humor", as NOTHING in this humor has ANYthing to do with religion, but instead about bigotry and hostility that can be laughed at.
And I thought we had an understanding that picking on the religions of others was not to be tolerated here. Am I mistaken? Did I misunderstand? If so, I'd like to make fun of all of the variations loosely based on Wicca, Druids, Jews, Muslims, Greek and Roman pagans, Buddhists, Hindus, and the odd Native American spiritualist.
Would that be ok? If not, why is it OK to make fun of Catholics? (And believe me, I LOVE good Catholic priest jokes, I just don't think that Catholic priests, or humor abou them has ANY place on a pagan tribe).
Hoping for an answer from our moderator.
Peace

Re: Religious humor...
Wed, August 16, 2006 - 11:09 AMTwo old men sitting on a train are talking. One guy says, "Did you hear the one about the two Jews who are walking down the street..."
The other guy says, "Hold it! Why are you always telling jokes about Jews? I find it offensive. Why must they always be about Jews?"
"I'm sorry. You're right," his friend replies and starts the joke again: "So, these two Chinese guys are walking down the street on the way to their nephew's bar mitzvah..."
another good Jews on a train joke:
It's 1939. An old Jewish man is riding on a train in the Bronx. He looks over and sees his good freind Moshe sitting across the aisle, reading a Nazi newspaper.
"Moshe!!! Have you lost your mind?!?!? Why are you reading that hateful rag?!?! "
Moshe replies, "Well, I used to read the Jewish newspapers, but what did I find? Jews being persecuted and murdered, Jews being rounded up and sent to concentration camps, Jews disappearing through assimilation and intermarriage, Jews living in poverty. So I switched to the Nazi newspaper. Now what do I find? We own all the banks! We control the media! We're rich and powerful!! We rule the world!!!

Re: Religious humor...
Mon, August 14, 2006 - 7:42 PMDUDE! Is he serious??? Relax! This was meant to be a thread for religious humor, period. ANY religion. How are ANY of these jokes bigoted??? It's not saying anything negative about them!!! Geez, I can't tell how many anti/men or women jokes I've seen on the dating Tribes, but most people KNOW they're only meant as humor and NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. That's what jokes ARE! Bigotry is saying...well, never mind, or I'll be accused of it. You might as well say ANY jokes about ANY group or person are bigoted. That's just silly. Is the only way satisfy your sense of moral outrage to include humor for EVERY spiritual/religious group there is? Sorry, need a bigger website for that! If anyone was offended, well, I'm very sorry.
Catholics tend to be a tad uptight (I was raised one, took me a LONG time to get over it), so it's easy to poke fun at them, same as Mormons (ever see South Park) etc. But if it will get you off your soapbox, here's some PAGAN jokes.

How many Garnerians does it take to change a lightbulb?
Can't say. It's oathbound.
How many Alexandrians does it take to change a lightbulb?
Same number as Gardnerians.
How many witches does it take to change a lightbulb???
None -- if a candle was good enough for Gramma it's good enough for me!
Q: How many Druids does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: They don't screw in light bulbs, they screw in stone
circles.
Q: How many Druids does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Thirteen; one to hold the bulb, and twelve to drink
enough to make the room spin.
Did you hear about the dyslexic devil worshipper? He sold his soul to Santa!
You Know Your Coven's Getting Older When...
The ritual feast is pureed.
Last Beltaine the coven decided it would be nice to go out to dinner to celebrate.
The last time you tried to do a spiral dance your oxygen feeds got tangled.
Viagra is kept in the coven supplies.
The maiden of the coven is a grandmother.
The ritual room is outfitted with defibrillators.
The coveners drive their RV's to Scottsdale for Mabon.
When you are at a festival you go to bed at sunset.
It takes the whole coven to move the cauldron.
The high priest still has a vendetta going against Richard Nixon.
You find yourself using your pendulum over the stock pages in the newspaper.
You tell an initiate that in your day you had to slog through five feet of snow uphill both ways when you did a Yule ritual.
You drop your teeth in the ritual cup.
At Samhain you see more of your coveners in the Wild Hunt than you do in circle.
You put your athame in the chalice during ritual but you can't remember why.
You hold an all night blow-out drum frenzy and none of your neighbors noticed.
You use Glenn Miller records for trance music.
All of your ritual robes are tie-dyed
Your coven has a 401(k) retirement plan.
A nitro pill vial replaces the crystal on your pendant.
No one's successfully jumped the Beltaine fire since 1983.
When the coven sings, "Creak and groan, creak and groan . . ."
When you set comfy chairs around the circle.
When you sit on the floor and can't get up again.
You do anointings with Aspercreme.
The oak tree your coven planted died of old age.
You use Bran Muffins and Prune Juice for Cakes & Ale because you need the extra fiber.
You don't use salt to consecrate you altar because you need to stay away from extra sodium.
You use a walker during the Wild Hunt
You prefer to rent a Hall for rituals because the bathrooms are closer.
You need a flashlight to find the candles. -

Re: Religious humor...
Tue, August 15, 2006 - 9:29 AMTatt, no offense man. I joke. I respect people of all religions to be honest. And to be even more honest I get very tired of pagans who rant about the way they are being treated by christians both now and before.
it's a viscious cycle of people who pick on eachother. no one does anything and nothing will be resolved. i just like nun jokes. it's not that i don't tolerate people and their dispositions. everyone is welcome in my house. there's enough hatred goin' on out there.
HOWEVER, i also believe in laughing at things. humor is a great tool. i feel that people take themselves way too seriously. For example, have you ever seen the comic strip, Oh My Gods!. He makes fun of every pagan sect and he's a pagan. I can laugh at the shortcomings of my path because they are true.
Not everyone has my senska humah i understand. if i offended anynun i apologize.

Re: Religious humor...
Wed, August 16, 2006 - 10:57 AMA Catholic priest and a Rabbi are talking about job prospects:
"Well," says the priest, "there's a good chance that I'll be the next Bishop - maybe within the next couple of years."
"Bishop!" marvels the Rabbi, "very nice. And after that?"
"Oh, I don't know, I suppose it's possible I could become Archbishop... given luck, and God's blessing."
"Very nice, very nice; and after Archbishop?"
"Ha! Well, you know, it's Cardinal after that, but it's really very unlikely. But in theory, I could become a Cardinal."
"Lovely!" enthuses the Rabbi, "the scarlet would suit your complexion. So what's after Cardinal?"
The priest smiles: "After Cardinal? Well, it's Pope - but I'm hardly likely to become... hmmm, oh I suppose it's just possible. If a Pole why not an Englishman again? Yes, I could just become Pope."
"Splendid! And after Pope?"
The priest looks at him in surprise: "After Pope? There's nothing after Pope! I mean, there's just God above the Pope - I can't become God."
"Why not?" quips the Rabbi. "One of our boys made it."
and one of my favorite nun jokes.
Three Italian nuns die inb a car accident and go to Heaven where they are met at the Pearly gates by St. Peter.
He says, "Sisters, I'm terribly sorry. Heaven is full. We're expanding and the construction should only take about six months at most. So you have to go back to earth in the meantime. But as consolation, you can be anyone you want until the renovations are completed.
The first nun says, "I want to be Sophia Loren" and *poof*, she's gone.
The second nun says, "I want to be Madonna" and *poof*, she's gone.
The third nun says, "I want to be Sara Pipalini."
St.Peter looks perplexed. "Who?" he asks.
"Sara Pipalini" replies the nun.
St.Peter shakes his head and says, "I'm very sorry, sister, but that name doesn't ring a bell."
The nun then takes a newspaper out of her habit and hands it to St.Peter. He glances over the front page and still confused, he hands it back to her and says.... "Sister, I don't understand. This headline says 'Sahara Pipeline, laid by 2,300 men in 6 months." -

Re: All this talk about humor
Wed, August 16, 2006 - 6:00 PMHere's a couple more relgious ones, TOLD by men of the cloth! Found 'em in Reader's Digest:
Priests, Rabbis, and Ministers
There's a reason these three men of the cloth hang out together -- they have the best gossip!
A priest, a rabbi and a minister walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, "What is this, a joke?"
-- Mario Smith, Baptist minister, Blackfoot, Idaho, and winner of RD's 2006 Tell Us a Joke Contest
(I saw THIS \/ one done in an Archie comic, with Archie, Jughead and Reggie!)
A priest, a rabbi and a minister are in a boat out in the middle of a lake. The priest says, "I'm thirsty. I'm going to get something to drink." So he steps out of the boat, walks across the water to shore, gets a soda, walks back across the water and gets back in the boat.
The minister says, "I'm thirsty too." So he walks across the water to shore, gets a soda and walks back to the boat.
The rabbi says, "My turn." He gets out of the boat and immediately sinks.
The priest turns to the minister. "Think we should've told him where the rocks were?"
-- Father Bryce Sibley, St. Joseph Catholic Church, Parks, Louisiana
(I LOVE this one! \/ )
A priest, a rabbi and a minister decide to see who's best at his job. So they each go into the woods, find a bear and attempt to convert it.
Later they get together.
The priest begins. "When I found the bear, I read to him from the Catechism and sprinkled him with holy water. Next week is his First Communion."
"I found a bear by the stream," says the minister, "and preached God's holy word. The bear was so mesmerized that he let me baptize him."
They both look down at the rabbi, who is wrapped in a body cast. "Looking back," he says, "maybe I shouldn't have started with the circumcision."
-- Rabbi Sandford Kopnick, The Valley Temple, Cincinnati, Ohio -

Re: All this talk about humor
Wed, August 16, 2006 - 9:05 PMAn Irish barmaid (And the most wonderful woman I have ever had the experience of sharing part of my life with) told me this one. She said it was a common joke in her hometown of Kilarney.
Two Sisters were on their way back to the Convent from market one evening when they noticed they were being followed by a strange man. So, they quickened their pace and as they hurried along the path they noticed the follower had sped up to keep pace.
After a few moments, the sisters came to a fork in the path, and having walked this way many times before, they each knew that both forks led back to the convent so the eldest sister devised a plan, "Let's each take a seperate trail, that way, if he catches up, he can only get to one of us in the worst case."
The younger sister agreed and they each hurried off down their respective paths.
The eldest sister paced eagerly inside the entry of the convent waiting for the arrival of the younger sister when the doors both were flung open wide and standing outside them was the younger sister, out of breath, sweaty, and damn near falling into the entry of the convent.
The eldest sister helped her into the sitting roon and made her a cup of warm tea with milk and honey and asked for every detail of what happened...
"Well..." the younger sister explained, "I noticed that he had chosen to follw me, and started speeding up, but it was of no use. He just kept gaining on me."
"Oh you poor thing!" the eldest sister explained as she comforted the younger, "And what happened next? Tell me everything."
"Well when he was almost right behind me I stopped and turned to face him and said, "If this is going to happen, lets just get it over and done with!" and I began to hike up my skirts."
The eldest sisters face was a twisted mess of disgust and embarassment, "What did he do?" she demanded.
The younger answered, "He opened his belt, and took down his pants!"
The eldest, again, comforted the younger, "What happend then, dear?"
The younger sister pulled back and looked at the eldest with wide eyes, "What then?" she asked. "Why, everybody knows that a sister with her skirts up can run MUCH faster than a pervert with his pants down!"
