"But I got religion!"

"Well you certainly didn't get it here."

That's nice - I really am beginning to feel that we need a bit more light-heartedness on the forum ! Fruballs to you!

A devout Christian was arguing with a UU about the existence of God. He said, "Ok, just prove there is no God."

The UU quipped, "You can't prove there is no God - you have take it on faith."

"Unitarian Universalists prefer buffet to catered," a UU was saying over coffee hour.

"What's wrong with catered food?" interupted another UU, catching only the last part of the conversation.

Explained the first, "I was referring to theology."

(Beginning to the soon to be released Holy Bible, UU Translation)

"In the Beginning, there was nothing. And then God said "Let there be light"... and there was still nothing, but it was easier to see that there was nothing."

YoUUrs in faith,

David

UU#1: "UUs don't know enough about the Bible."

UU#2: "Some of us are self-taught, and know a lot. Like me"

UU#1: "Oh, yeah? I'll bet you five bucks you can't recite the Lord's Prayer."

UU#2: "You're on. Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, if I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take."

UU#1: "Alright, I was wrong -- you win."

What's sad about this joke is when you tell it to a roomful of UUs and no one gets it.

addendum:
btw truth, Maize is right. I got most of these from web sites, and a few were told to me by UU friends.
