#2 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 you christian or buddhist?" He said, "Christian." I said, "Me too! Are you catholic or protestant?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me too! Are you episcopalian or baptist?" He said, "Baptist!" I said,"Wow! Me too! Are you baptist church of god or baptist church of the lord?" He said, "Baptist church of god!" I said, "Me too! Are you 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. -- Emo Phillips

I'm a Baptist and I'm shocked at your sacrilegious posting!
Do you mind if I copy that. My Brother-in-law the minister will love it, So will my Catholic Sister-in -law whom I accuse of being a cafeteria Catholic. I don't think my Pastor has seen it either. He once claimed he was going to change the name to the Baptist Church of Incessant Wrangling Over the Silly Stuff.

ROFL, VH. :-D

Unfortunately applies to some other churches too. :-(

#5 A possibly apocryphal story:

When the Protestant Epicopal Church in the USA engaged with China, the name had to be translated into Mandarin. When it was translated back to English, it came out more or less as

The Church of the Bickering Overseers
