Chas...always speaking out about subject that he deeply cares about with reason and eloquence.

"Ya GOTTA" appreciate that.


And, naturally, you "gotta" appreciate Nigel and this forum.

You don't need to convince me about George's wisdom. I have seen George perform live on stage in Las Vegas. He totally nails it.

Yep. Now we only have Bill Maher. Well, at least we live in a country where these guys can spoof the lunacy of it all and not be beheaded......yet.

I started a joke, which I really meant for Ian "The Atheists" in particular. He took a while but knocked me out with his response about the Preacher who couldn't find the outhouse or whatever, but wanted to show a young man how to get to heaven. I LMBO literally! Neither Ian nor myself was offended. This is a bar. It's a joke between two 9 ball players, I mean two musicians. LOL

Some how a joking post got turned into something else. How did that happen. Only Diki and I are supposed to be able to do that. I thought this was a bar where guys ribbed each other about any and everything.

I apologize to Chas and anyone one else that I might have offended. Peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good joke is the cure for humanity.

What do a Christmas tree and a priest have in common? 
A: Their balls are just for decoration.

A Sunday school teacher asked her children on the way to service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" One little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."




 

Josey wasn't the best pupil at Sunday school. She often fell asleep and one day while she was sleeping, the teacher asked her a question. "Who is the creator of the universe?" Joe was sitting next to Josey and decided to poke her with a pin to wake her up. Josey jumped and yelled, "God almighty!" The teacher congratulated her. A little later the teacher asked her another question, "Tell me who is our lord and savior?" Joe poked Josey again and she yelled out, "Jesus Christ!" The teacher congratulated her again. Later on the teacher asked, "What did Eve say to Adam after their 26th child?" Joe poked Josey again and she shouted, "If you stick that thing in me again, I'll snap it in half and stick it up your ass!"


Three men are traveling on a ship, when they are accosted by the Devil. The Devil proposes that if each man drops something into the sea and he cannot find it, he will be that man's slave. If the Devil does find it, however, he will eat that man up. The first man drops a pure, clear diamond, and immediately gets eaten. The second drops an expensive watch, trying to impress the Devil, and gets eaten. The third man fills a bottle with water and pours it into the sea yelling, "You think I'm a fool? Try finding that!"





Three nuns are talking. The first nun says, "I was cleaning in Father's room the other day and do you know what I found? A bunch of pornographic magazines." "What did you do?" the other nun asks. "Well, of course I threw them in the trash." The second nun says, "Well, I can top that. I was in Father's room putting away the laundry and I found a bunch of condoms!" "Oh my!" gasp the other nuns. "What did you do?" they ask. "I poked holes in all of them!" she replies. The third nun faints.

Come on Ian, you're way behind. Mirza, I'll say one thing, you "damned" atheists are very funny!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahah!!!! LMBO

No need to apologize to me Brickboo. I only spoke up because I mistakenly thought Nigel didn't want the topic discussed anymore and it seemed we were trying to 'back door' our way back into it. As it turns out, he was only responding to those particular threads, not the topic itself. But yeah, you're right; Atheist ARE funny. That's because WE get the joke (that is organized religion).

I'd like to say that I have nothing against religion but that would not be accurate. It stifles our quest for knowledge about the world around us; it substitutes gibberish for logic, reason, and scientific research; it turns neighbor against neighbor; it's used to enslave and control; it diminishes the need to take control of our own lives; it relieves us of personal responsibility by making every action and every response to that action "God's will".

We call ourselves a "Christian nation", yet we make no apology for our historical treatment of Native Americans, or the enslavement of millions of people, or the 'nuking' of millions more. Can you imagine how (our) history would have portrayed that act if an atomic bomb had been dropped on Chicago or New York? But what the heck, 'God is on our side'.

Funny stuff. I also like his take on the 10 commandments.
