Religious Jokes - Post Your Best! (Jesus Christ, priest, Torah, Jehovah)

[Sam Bloom]

The Reverend John Fuzz was pastor of a small congregation in a little Pennsylvania town. One day he was walking down Main Street and he happened to notice a female member of his congregation sitting in the town bar, drinking beer. The reverend thought this was sinful and not something a member of his congregation should do, so he walked through the open door of the bar and sat down next to the woman.

"Mrs. Fitzgerald," the reverend said sternly. "This is no place for a member of my congregation. Why don't you let me take you home?"

Shure," she said with a slur, obviously very drunk.

When Mrs Fitzgerald stood up from the bar, she began to weave back and forth. The reverend realized that she had had too much to drink and he grabbed hold of her arms to steady her. When he did, they both lost their balance and tumbled to the floor. After rolling around for a few seconds, the reverend wound up lying on top of Mrs. Fitzgerald, her skirt hiked up to her waist.

The bartender looked over the bar and said, "Here, here, buddy, we won't have any of that carrying on in this bar."

The reverend looked up at the bartender and said, "But you don't understand, I'm Pastor Fuzz."

The bartender nodded, "Well, if you're that far, you may as well finish."

Jesus in the Bathroom

A Sunday school teacher of pre-schoolers was concerned that his students might be a little confused about Jesus Christ. He wanted to make sure they understood that the birth of Jesus occurred a long time ago, that he grew up, etc. So he asked his class, "Where is Jesus today?"

Steven raised his hand and said, "He's in heaven!"

Mary was called on and answered, "He's in my heart!"

Little Johnny, waving his hand furiously, blurted out, "I know! I know! He's in our bathroom!"

The whole class got very quiet, looked at the teacher, and waited for a response. The teacher was completely at a loss for a few very long seconds. He finally gathered his wits and asked Little Johnny how he knew this.

Little Johnny replied, "Well, every morning my father gets up, bangs on the bathroom door, and yells: 'Jesus Christ, are you still in there?'"

Here is one:

While meeting at a local interfaith council, a Roman Catholic Priest, a Protestant Pastor and a Rabbi struck up a conversation. They realised they enjoyed many things in common - theology, golf, classical music and... gambling. Thinking that it would be much more fun to play poker with other men of the cloth, the three decided that they would meet regularly to play some cards and put the world to rights.

Anyway, in the state these three were living in, gambling was illegal. So, when the local sheriff got an anonymous tip-off that these three pillars of the community were getting up to no good once a week in the Catholic Church's vestry, he was very concerned, and didn't want to believe it. So, he went round to the place that Wednesday evening, when the three met, and knocked on the door. The holy men, realising they had been rumbled, scrambled to hide all the cards, money etc. When they had done this, the Priest opened the door, and in came the sheriff. Not wanting to arrest any of the men straight away, the lawman decided to ask them if they had been gambling, thinking that they would not lie if they had been.

First, the sheriff turned to the priest and said "Father, have you been gambling here tonight?"

The priest looked up to the heavens, crossed himself and muttered "Forgive me father, for what I am about to do" before looking the sheriff square in the eye and saying "No my son, I have not been gambling."

The sheriff then turned to the pastor and said "Pastor, have you been gambling?" The pastor looked up at the heavens, strechted his arms skyward and cried "Forgive me Lord Jesus, Ah ahm ah sinnah!" before, like the priest, looking the sheriff square in the eye and saying "No sah, Ah have not been gamblin"

Finally, the sheriff looked at the Rabbi. "Rabbi, have you been gambling?"

The Rabbi gave a wry smile, shrugged and said "Who with?"

I love that one ^^.

Sometimes women are overly suspicious of their husbands....

When Adam stayed out very late for a few nights, Eve became upset.

"You're running around with other women," she told her mate.

"Eve, honey, you're being unreasonable," Adam responded.
"You know you're the only woman on earth."

The quarrel continued until Adam fell asleep, only to be awakened by a strange pain in the chest. It was his darling Eve poking him rather vigorously about the torso.

"What do you think you're doing?" Adam demanded.

"Counting your ribs," said Eve!

And God Created Woman
One day in the Garden of Eden, Eve calls out to God, "Lord, I have a problem!"
"What's the problem, Eve?"
"Lord, I know you've created me and have provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, and that hilarious comedy snake, but I'm just not happy."
"Why is that, Eve?" came the reply from above.
"Lord, I am lonely. And I'm sick to death of apples."
"Well, Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you."
"What's a 'man', Lord?"
"This man will be a flawed creature, with aggressive tendencies, an enormous ego and an inability to empathize or listen to you properly. All in all, he'll give you a hard time. But, he'll be bigger and faster and more muscular than you. He'll be really good at fighting and kicking a ball about and hunting fleet-footed ruminants, and not altogether bad in the sack."
"Sounds great," says Eve, with an ironically raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, well. He's better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick. But, you can have him on one condition."
"What's that, Lord?"
"You'll have to let him believe that I made him first."
