Australian Tolerance

I am truly perplexed that so many people are against another mosque being built in Sydney. I think it should be the goal of every Australian to be tolerant. Thus the Mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance. That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to [...]

The Promised Land

Over five thousand years ago Moses said to the children of Israel “pick up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the promised land.” Nearly 50 years ago, Harold Wilson said, “Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a camel, this is the promised land.” [...]

Wise Young Monk

A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand. He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the head abbot to question [...]

Boozy Confession

A drunken man staggers in to a Catholic church and sits down in a confession box and says nothing. The bewildered priest coughs to attract his attention, but still the man says nothing. The priest then knocks on the wall three times in a final attempt to get the man to speak. Finally, the drunk [...]

Jew and Mistress

A Jewish husband and wife were having dinner at a very fine restaurant when this absolutely stunning young woman comes over to their table, gives the husband a big kiss, then says she’ll see him later and walks away.

She made a mistake, however, when she accused Frank, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw [...]

Three friends — two straight guys and a gay guy — and their significant others were on a cruise. A tidal wave came up and swamped the ship; they all drowned, and next thing you know, they’re standing before St. Peter. First came one of the straight guys and his wife. St. Peter shook his [...]

Supreme Being

“So”, said the teacher, “what are the names used for the Supreme Being, and the great religious leaders?” The names came rattling out — “God” “Lord” “Jahweh” “Jehovah” “Jesus” “Buddha” “Muhammed” and so forth. Little Johnny remained silent. “So Johnny, can YOU think of any?” He scratched his head, then said “Andy!” “Andy? The Supreme [...]

Novice Driver

A young boy had just passed his driving test. He asked his father, who was a minister, if they could discuss his use of the car. His father said to him, “I’ll make a deal with you. You bring your grades up, study your bible a little, and get your hair cut, then we will [...]

Faith

There was a man called him Jim, who lived near a river. Jim was a very religious man. One day, the river rose over the banks and flooded the town, and Jim was forced to climb onto his porch roof. While sitting there, a man in a boat comes along and tells Jim to get [...]
