Ok, sucker, I snagged you.
Humor is been described as tragedy plus time, And also (Will Durant) humor and philosophy are souls of each other--
Ok. Here are two" one may make you smile, one might make you think:
#1
I went into a general store but they wouldn't let me buy anything singularly.
(Ok. I'll wait for the chuckles to susbside.)
------------
#2
Well you can't have everyting - where would you put it?
(That's the thought one. Where would you put it, if you literally had everything.?)
If I had everythng, I would put everything just as it is.. Me, in Vancouver a city garden, with sharing, caring friends, secure, comfortable; with off-spring of whom I am proud and who like me :-) A thourghly satisfied person on a planet that is troubled.
Our challenge.
I'm not unduely spiritual, but every single day I say "Thank you Lord, for this day"
( And "tyL,ftd) in in most marginal notes for about 30 years)
Although this has become my favorite web-site I wonder if I should be here. I'm not the demographic. this place is really looking for...
and My hair-brained personal theologic is very heretical and isn't heresy divisive?
The fact that it answers all my questions, eliminates my 'fear of death', worries about an 'after life' (Which I maintain is likely, or at least possible) will I'm sure convince no-one nor would that be an intent.
Onward! No one will ever be understrood completely.
You know, to be frank., I'd have to change my name.
Ahem
I count my gains
I recall my losses
No fear of death
No love of the process
I love my life: old age is fun
A daily reminder that all is not done
----
Ramdom thoughts from the old man...
Why would you be interested in MY theology?

And Jesus Thus Spake: "Dang, this cloud rides up my crack!"
Edit: Why do Southern Baptists object to premarital sex?
Because it might lead to dancing.
Why God Never Received Tenure at a University...
1. Because he had only one major publication.
2. And it was in Hebrew.
3. And it had no cited references.
4. And some even doubt he wrote it himself.
5. And it wasn't published in a refereed journal or submitted for peer review.
6. Even if it turns out to be true that he created the world, what’s he done since?
7. The scientific community hasn't yet been able to replicate his results.
8. He rarely came to class, just told students to read the book.
9. He expelled his first two students for learning.
10. Although there were only ten requirements, most students failed his tests.

I prayed to God to rid me of God. God answered my prayers and rid me of my belief in God.
Now I'm an atheist. This particular brand of atheism, however, wherein God refutes ITself, is called Atheism in the name of God.
Is this humor, or philosophy, or maybe both?

Introducing Gladys Dunn
Gladys Dunn had recently moved into a retirement community in a small town.
One beautiful Sunday morning she walked to church not far from her apartment.
She was in awe of the beautiful church, as well as music from the choir.
She wasn't too impressed with the sermon. She thought it was kind of boring, and as she looked around the church, she noticed that many of the parishioners were nodding off.
When the reverend finished, he encouraged his congregation to greet those sitting close to him.
Gladys turned toward the man sitting on her left. He, too, had fallen asleep and was yawning and stretching trying to wake up. He smiled at her, and Gladys returned the smile.
She politely offered her hand and said, "I'm Gladys Dunn."
"You and me both!" the man replied.
