Christianity.

I just have a lot of problems with meetings and coffee and donuts. Ethical culture weirded me out. Al anon weirded me out. Munches eventually weirded me out. I don't go to the Zen Center because there are friendly people and coffee there. I like my coffee in my house or at a coffee shop with company of my choosing, not my affiliations. I am SO not cut out for organized religion.

I have no problem with coffee and donuts anywhere but the meetings, well that's something I tend to hate! Any meeting lasting more than 15 minutes has lost it's productivity and value. I heard that somewhere and I believe it.

Al anon freaked me out too but I did learn one important lesson. That was that everyone there had someone blaming them for what the drunks in their lives were doing. I thought it was just me see. :eek:

I had no problem with munches because that's just sitting there talking with folks. I tend to prefer one on ones but I got what I wanted out of it. What I wanted was to be invited to a demo and listened to a bit. :)

I've been to a lot of churches for various reasons. I don't enjoy them but they have certain functions that I believe can be important for individuals and helpful to society.

One of my students back in the dark ages was a self-described "Jewish American Princess" (JAP) from Brooklyn. I think she knew (and told) every JAP joke ever invented, but the one that completely cracked me up was:

What's the difference between a JAP and a bowl of jello?
.
.
.
.
The bowl of jello wiggles when you eat it.

Also memorable:
How can you tell when a JAP has an orgasm?
She drops her nailfile.

What's a JAP's favorite position?
First in line at a Bloomie's sale.

Heh, that got a good chuckle out of me. After spending 8 years at summer camp with the JAPiest girls you may ever meet, I can say with some certainty that those three jokes have a few grains of truth in 'em (at least for a few of the bitches I've met).

They do, although I hate that term with a passion.
 
I'm really a Northern Californian when it comes to food. We didn't eat brisket for Passover. I've had some briskets that I like, but oh my god that stuff is heavy. It's really a big divider between me and my east coast peeps. I just don't know how to cook with that much chicken fat.

And I love matzoh brei! I'm like the only one, I swear.

I feel you on the heavy thing. The roomies and I had a bbq last weekend and I had a piece of red meat. I felt icky for hours.

Although I've been changing my diet around and haven't been eating much meat at all.
 
Why do the muslims and jews hate eachother?




















Cause back in the times of Abraham, Abraham said to God "Lemme get this straight. They get all the oil rights, and you want us to cut of the end of our whats?"

Haven't you heard the story of Issac and Ishmael?

"The more you complain, the longer God lets you live."

This seems so true.

LOL

Thanks Grace.

God... Hmmm . . .I am highly dubious that one exists.
But then again, maybe my brain is built that way, like a cat trying to understand calculus - I am simply not capable of comprehending/undertanding the idea of "GOD"

To tell the truth I enjoy Christian jokes more than jokes about other religions. Why? Cause I get them - most jokes about other religions leave me in the dark.

Haha, I get that. My group of friends during high school was largely Jewish except for my one friend who was raised christian/without religion. We'd get to talking about Passover, or kugel, or whatever and we told Jew jokes constantly, and my one friend was always like "what the hell are you talking about." Eventually she learned and she's almost an adopted Jew now. she's even been to a seder or two :D

I think I get christian and catholic jokes just 'cause I know so much about the religions. Like, no offense to either religion, but christianity has been shoved down my throat my whole life. Its everywhere! Its hard to not know what's in the bible, you know? So someone makes a joke about adam and eve, I get it. I make a joke about leaving the door open for Elijah and no one has a clue what I'm talking about.

I get Jewish jokes more than any other religion because I've read most of the bible (minus numbers and leviticus - I'm not that much of a masochist), so I understand them more often. But some I don't get, cause other than netzach and malcah I've never much spent time with Jewish people.
