Why don't they put cushions on the pews? Must attending church be a pain in the butt?[:D][:-^]

Well, you see. They call that "paying penance",and it only hurts if you've been a sinner.

My blonde haired neighbor goes to the post office to buy stamps for Christmas. She says to the clerk, "May I have 50 Christmas stamps?"

The clerk says, "What denomination?"

The woman says, "God please help us. Has it come to this?" Give me 6 Catholic, 12 Presbyterian, 10 Lutheran, and 22 Baptists."

YOUR CHURCH MIGHT BE REDNECK IF:

The finance committee refuses to provide funds for the purchase of a chandelier because none of the members knows how to play one.

People ask, when they learn that Jesus fed the 5000 whether the two fish were bass or catfish, and what bait was used to catch 'em.

When the pastor says, "I'd like to ask Bubba to help take up the offering." Five guys and Two women stand up.

Opening day of deer season is recognized as an official church holiday.

A member of the church requests to be buried in his 4-wheel-drive truck because "It ain't never been in a hole it couldn't get out of."

The choir is known as the "OK Chorale."

In a congregation of 500 members, there are only seven last names in the church directory.

Baptism is referred to as "branding."

High notes on the organ set the dogs on the floor to howling.

People think "rapture" is what you get when you lift something too heavy.

The baptismal pool is a #2 galvanized washtub.

The choir robes were donated by (and embroidered with the logo from) Billy Bob's Barbecue.

The collection plates are really hub caps from a 56 Chevy.

Instead of a bell, you are called to service by a duck call.

The minister and his wife drive matching pickup trucks.

The communion wine is Boone's Farm "Tickled Pink."

"Thou shalt not covet" applies to hunting dogs, too.

The final words of the benediction are, "Ya'll come back now! Ya Hear"

A priest and a pastor from the local churches are standing by the side of the road, pounding a sign into the ground, that reads:

"The End Is Near! Turn Yourself Around Now -- Before It's Too Late!"

As a car sped past them, the driver yelled, "Leave us alone, you religious nuts!" From the curve they heard screeching tires and a big splash.

The pastor turns to the priest and asks, "Do you think the sign should just say 'Bridge Out'?"

A few minutes before the services started in the local church, the townspeople were sitting in their pews and talking.

Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate. Soon everyone had exited the church except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seeming oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence. So Satan walked up to the old man and said,

"Don't you know who I am?"

The man replied, "Yep, sure do."

"Aren't you afraid of me?" Satan asked.

"Nope, sure ain't." said the man.

"Don't you realize I can kill you with a word?" asked Satan.

"Don't doubt it for a minute," returned the old man, in an even tone.

"Did you know that I could cause you profound, horrifying, physical AGONY for all eternity?" persisted Satan.

"Yep," was the calm reply.

“And you're still not afraid?" asked Satan.

"Nope."

More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, "Well, why aren't you afraid of me?"

The man calmly replied,
"Been married to your sister for over 48 years."

A Church's pastor and music minister weren't getting along.

On the first Sunday of their conflict, the preacher preached on tithing, and the music minister selected "Jesus Paid it All".

The second Sunday, the sermon was on euthenasia, and the closing song "Take my Life"

The third Sunday, growing frustrated, the preacher preached on gossip, and the closing song was "I Love to tell the Story".

The preacher finally decided that he had had enough, and resigned the next Sunday. When he announced that the Lord had called him to another church, the music minister lead the congregation in "What a Friend we Have in Jesus".

And then lets not forget "Frankenchrist", that mythical assembly of legend than has congealed over the years, as ever more sects have split off from the core of christianity due to differences of opinion, and found it necessary to personalize their share of the holy trinity..just to give their separatist pursuit legitimacy...

Just being honest, bt it really doesn't bother me when people pressure me for my views, I'll share my views with anyone.

it's when they pressure me to accept their views, because they have dewtermined that mine are wrong, that it gets irritating.

yes, I'm talking about the evangelical bit.... The ones who, having been "saved" are determined to share their special relationship with god with everyone around them.... THAT is the part that suxxors about the fanatics.
