As I was walking along a road I came to a high bridge over a fast flowing river and standing upon it was a man. The man looked poised to jump so I ran over to him and said, "Don't jump! Don't you know that suicide is wrong? don't you believe in God?"
"Why yes" replied the man "I do indeed believe in God"
"Well so doI What God do you believe in?"
"I believe in the God of the Christian faith"
"So do I, are you a catholic or a protestant?"
"I am a protestant" said the man as he stood on the bridge above the torrent of water below
"Me too! Are you an evangelical one?"
"That I am?"
"And are you a baptist?"
"Well yes, I am a baptist"
"Me too!! I'm an evangelical baptist, but are you a southern baptist or a northern baptist?"
"Northern of course"
"Wow ME TOO!, so you're a evangelical northern baptist? are you reformed or not?"
"Well I'm a reformed evangelical northern baptist"
"Me too" said I, practically unable to contain my excitement now "I'm also a reformed evangelical northern baptist! But I suppose you are a pre-episcoal reformed evangelical northen baptist"
"No actually I'm a post-episcoal reformed evangelical northern baptist!"
"ME TOO! I'm a post-episcoal reformed evangelical northern baptist, are you a 1897 doctrine, post-episcoal reformed evangelical northern baptist?" I exclaimed,
"Well no actually I'm a 1915 doctrine, post-episcoal reformed evangelical northern baptist" he said to me, so I ran up to the heretic and pushed him off the bridge.
™ some christian speaker, who probably stole it from some other christian speaker, but it makes a good point
I'll write a proper update sometime later today...
it shouldn't be but I'm not sure how to fiddle with the css so it works in all browsers. Nevermind sparticus v 9.0 is just around the corner and that's so compatible that my old amiga could display it fine. It's that good. (my website, not my old amiga which sucks because the plug in doohicky at the back get on falling out)
in a similar vein..
this dude dies and goes to heaven. when we gets there, a helpful angel meets him at the pearly gates and gives him the introductory tour of the place. he takes him round the jewish quarter, the protestant bit, the sikhs, muslims, and so on. when they get to the catholic bit, the angel tells the dude to walk past very quietly and make sure he isn't seen.
'why?' the dude asks.
says the angel, 'cos they think they're the only ones here.'
(c) either my mum, or one of my uncles. can't quite remember who told me it.
Are talking reality here? ...

Getting around this website can be a tad confusing. If you're looking to explore the better stuff of what I've written then this navigation should help you. If you're after a specific post then searching or looking through the archives chronologically may help.

I like this one! An important point well made. I personally believe that all Christians are equal and should treat each other as such. We all believe in the same thing and we all read the same book. How you use the book is a matter of personal preference, not something you should try to force others to do.
Anyway - this is the first time I've ever been to this site, and I have to say I'm impressed! One slight problem though - Mozilla / Netscape, this particular bit I'm writing in is about 10 lines below the picture, and I don't think it should be?
