Jan 2013

A man enters a bar and sits next to a Baptist.

Man: "See that man on TV, standing on the ledge?"

Baptist: "Yes."

Man: "He's going to jump."

Baptist: "No, he's not. Pray with me."

Man: "Okay, but let's bet, just to make it interesting. Here's twenty."

Baptist: "You're on. Jesus will save him." Puts down his money. "Now let's pray."

They pray.

The guy on TV takes a dive.

Baptist: "Well, a bet's a bet. Here." Shoves his money down the bar.

Man: "I can't take your money. I've got to tell you; I saw this news program earlier."

Baptist: "Yeah, I saw it too, but I thought we could save him this time."

But most evangelicals don't have a live-and-let-live attitude toward religion Fumesucker Jan 2013 #2
