Lots of good chuckles, guys. I would be impressed if this didn't turn into a religious war-thread. Take It In Context Gentlemen/women (and you others
). The ability to laugh must come first with the ability to laugh at one's own self. Which I do on an hourly, if not by the minute, basis. They were all very good jokes.

mine Christian Dior with a diamond monogram. Accessorized with a butterfly net and white patent leather gumsole shooz. And a
gaudy large red velvet bowtie that looks exactly like an enlarged thyroid. Replete with a white Maytag repairman porkpie hat with the symbol for infinity upon its brim instead of the obligatory scrambled eggs.
I am clinically insane. That qualifies me to me and free to be.
As fruity as a nut-cake. With no preservatives or artificial color added. And low sodium too. With forebearance and ham sandwiches for all...
If you want to know the magnificence of God, look at a wildflower. To see His providence, watch a squirrel gathering
acorns and nuts. To see His wisdom, observe the change of the tides and the transit of the moon in the sky. For an example of His patience, pick up a smooth stone in the stream bed. Feel
the warmth of the sun upon your skin to understand His love.
Grasp His diversity and sense of humor by looking intently into
a mirror. To understand His values remember while you look in that mirror that you are just a little lesser than the angels, and
that a very precious ransom was paid that you might come to this
knowledge...

I was a Wiccan. And a warlock. Some of us were into
other things too. But thanks be to God who in His infinite
understanding of a fallen, worthless creature, allowed me
to come to the knowledge of Him and the One He sent-
Christ Jesus. My life is His.

yeah, I know. Too many mushrooms on that pizza.
When I was younger and much more impressionable...
I really believed that stuff. Imagine that.
I'm the original "Harry Potter"
It's good for a load of laughs now. But every
now and then I get a chill up my spine thinking
about just how close I got to some really intense,
dangerous...sheet!
your phrend...

This is all that matters. God is very real. No matter what
others say.

One correction, WK...Freemasonry ain't a religion. We require the belief in a Supreme Being (God, Allah, etc.), but we do not practice a particular religion.
If a local Lodge advertises an open installation of officers, go and observe. You will see that we do not open or close a meeting without invoking the blessing of God, but we don't pray in a particular religion--no "In Jesus' name," invoking of a particular saint, etc.
And remember, no one is as blind as he who will not see. No religion has all the answers, and some of them are probably just plain wrong!
Of course, that's just my opinion...I could be wrong!
