Divine Parody

How Many Christians
Does It Take
to Change a Light Bulb?

Author Unknown

Charismatics:
Only one.  Hands already in the air.

Roman Catholics:
None.  They use candles.

Pentecostals:
Ten.  One to change the light bulb, and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness.

Presbyterians:
None.  God has predestined when the lights will be on and off.

Episcopalians:
Eight.  One to call the electrician, and seven to say how much better they liked the old bulb.

Mormons:
Five.  One man to change the bulb, and four wives to tell him how to do it.

Unitarians:
We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the light bulb.  However, if you have found in your own journey that light bulbs work for you, that is fine.  You are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your personal relationship with your light bulb and present it next month at our annual light bulb Sunday service in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, three-way, long-life, and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.

Baptists:
At least fifteen.  One to change the light bulb, and two or three committees to approve the change. Oh, and one to bring a casserole.

Lutherans:
None.  Lutherans don't believe in change.

Methodists:
A whole congregation.  One to change the light bulb, and the rest of the congregation to be sure that he doesn't backslide off the ladder and have to change it again.
