The Heretic...

Walking across a bridge one day, one man saw another man standing on the edge, about to jump off.

So the first man ran over and said, "Stop! Don't do it!"

"Why shouldn't I?" the second man said.

The first man said, "Well, there's so much to live for!"

"Like what?" the suicidal man said said.

"Well, are you religious or atheist?"

"Religious."

"Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?"

"Christian."

"Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?"

"Protestant."

"Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"

"Baptist!"

"Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?

"Baptist Church of God!"

"Me too! Are you Original Baptist Church of God or are you Reformed Baptist Church of God?"

"Reformed Baptist Church of God!"

"Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915?"

"Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915!"

The first man said "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off.

I didn't necessarily think that was funny, it just reminded me of every Baptist church I've ever set foot in...

I've been to many Baptist churches like that too. It's nice being in one now that is not that way, and sad that there are so many that are that way.
