A Joke: A mother came to the Priest after her 3 year old son died

[Taverner]

She was sobbing and angry at god because her beloved son, Jonny, died from a horrible case of leukemia. As she vented her anger out to the Priest, she exclaimed "WHY??? WHY DID GOD TO THIS TO ME??? TO JONNY????"

The Priest looked up from his reading glasses and purred "Well, the Lord works in mysterious ways. We are not privy to what he knows, so take solace in that the Lord watches over us all."

Six months later, a man came into his office, sad and angry because his daughter died in childbirth. He screamed and railed "WHY DID MY DAUGHTER HAVE TO DIE??? SHE WAS SO FULL OF LIFE, AND LOVED GOD THROUGH HER LIFE???"

Once again, the Priest looked over his reading glasses and said "Well, the Lord works in mysterious ways. We are not privy to what he knows, so take solace in that the Lord watches over us all."

On the way home, the Priest hit some black ice in his car, and skidded off the road and down a 100 ft cliff. When he came to, he was in hell, with demons sticking tridents up his ass, and sandpaper rubbed against every inch of his skin. He howled out in pain and in front of him was God.

"WHY AM IN HELL, O LORD??? I SERVED YOU DUTIFULLY EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE!!! I HAD TO LEAVE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE TO SERVE YOU, GOD!!! WHY AM I HERE???"

Then God looked over his reading glasses and said "Well, you know, I work in mysterious ways."

4. My buddy's father, a pastor, was pissed that God let him get a stroke

and it gave him some nerve damage.

By his logic, indulgent, heretical ME should have gotten the stroke.

7. Reminds me of this oldie...

(Which can be updated with the name of any Holy Asshat you like, of course...)

One cold, stormy day, Pat Robertson and his wife were driving down a country road. A car suddenly passed them, going like a bat out of Non-Existent Place of Punishment, swerving on the icy road and nearly going into the ditch.

To his wife, Robertson said: "Dear, that poor fellow must be sick and trying to get to a doctor." To himself, Pat said: "I better pass this goddam drunk and get out of his way, before we have a wreck."

So Pat hits the gas pedal and starts to pass the drunk...but just then, his car hits a patch of black ice. Pat's car goes off the road, flips over 3 times, and ends up on its roof.

The drunk stops and runs over: "Shit-fire, that was a helluva crash! Are you folks OK?"

Pat dusts off his Armani suit and says: "Yes. We're fine, thank you. Jesus is riding with us!"

The drunk says: "Well, you better let him ride with me. You're gonna kill him."

8. Funny, but

next to the joke that is religion, all others pale in comparison.
