Personally, I think the best test of your commitment to your faith, regardless of your beliefs, is when the collection plate comes around, and all you have are twenty dollar bills.

We've all heard ministers who get a bit carried away with the length of their sermons. We had a guest pastor once who was rather talkative -- at the end of his sermon, there was a great awakening throughout the entire congregation.

Seems to me some of the Jewish dietary laws are based more on logic than religion. For example, pork would spoil quickly in the desert w/o refrigeration. I had a Jewish friend try to tell me that to them, eating pork was like the sin of adultery.

Well, I'm still not convinced -- to me, there's no comparison !

Speaking of pork (I was) Father O'Malley was having dinner with his good friend Rabbi Stern. Naturally the conversation turned to the differences in their beliefs. Teasing, the good Father asked the Rabbi, "When are you going to break down & taste some pork ?"

The Rabbi replied, "At your wedding Father, at your wedding."

Rabbi Stern and Father O'Malley were always kidding each other about their various tenets. The Rabbi opened with: "Remember Father, it was our ancestors who gave you the Ten Commandments."

"Ah... 'tis true Rabbi," countered the good Father, "but... you can't say we kept them."

The small town Madam wanted to make a big contribution to the local Baptist Church. The debate as to whether to accept the money was long, hot and furious.

Finally, an engineer in the congregation stood up and said, "Let's be logical about this folks. It's all our money anyway."
