Hope this makes you laugh

Pacifist · Aug 2, 2005

I quickly scanned the threads in this forum to ensure I'm not repeating someone else's thread. Hopefully, I did a good job at it since I didn't find anything similar.

Some of you may have already encountered this before. For those who haven't, I hope you find yourself :rotfl:

or at the very least :lol:

I sure did

The 2 links are just sites I found and is included for ease of sharing my discovery with all you Civ'ers and non-Civ'ers alike. The links are pretty much the same so choose whichever you like.

EDIT: Since there seems to be mixed reactions to this post, I add this WARNING: The material presented contains issues pertaining to "Science vs Religion" views. If you are easily offended, I advise that you stop reading now. Go play Civilization or something similarly relaxing. You have been warned.

The Challenge - A few other jokes is included but the main one I'm trying to highlight is the one titled "The Challenge" - the link does not have much clutter either.

The Professor Teaches About Evil and Christianity - This link is more readable IMO but there's additional clutter (images, links, etc.)

I remember seeing this in OT. Anyway, no decent professor would reply that there was a such thing as cold.

i decided to play nice, so ill give everyone a FREE lesson in comedy;

rule number 1: you cant write comedy about things/people you hate

this is what i read in an interview with a really awesome comedian, i didnt understand it first, but after giving it alittle thought, i got it

you might have the same problem, so ill give you all an example
lets say theres a guy i hate more than anything else, i absolutly hate him, lets call him X

so to me the following might be funny:
do you know why X sucks monkey butt?
cause he eats poop for breakfast every day! :rotfl:

(EDIT: this part isnt supposed to be funny)

and while im on the floor laughing, everyone else is like: WTH?!? :confused:

the guy who wrote this thing obviously hated people who like to use science to point out inconsistencies in religion, with the classic one being that whole evolution vs creation thing

this whole article couldve been shortened to: science dosent know everything, neener neener neener!

not funny

It's an entertaining joke, but it's true - it doesn't make sense. The argument was that evil cannot be physically measured, and so God didn't create it - but that same rule applies to free will ...

Old Mrs Lydia woke up one morning to find that the river had flooded its banks and was still rising. Looking out of her window, she saw two men in a rowboat who shouted out an invitation for her to row to safety with them. "No thank you," said Mrs Lydia. "The Lord will provide." The men shrugged their shoulders and rowed off.

By evening time, the water level had forced Mrs Lydia to climb onto the roof for safety. She was spotted by a man in a motorboat who offered to pick her up. "Don't trouble yourself," she told him. "The Lord will provide."

Pretty soon, Mrs Lydia had to seek refuge atop the chimney. But when a cutter came by, she waved it on, shouting, "The Lord will provide!" The boat left, the water level rose, and the old woman drowned.

Dripping wet and thoroughly annoyed, she came through the pearly gates and demanded to speak to God. "What happened? I trusted You with my life!" she cried. "For crying out loud, lady," God said. "I sent three boats."

I found that one funny, but not the science one.

I don't expect everyone to have similar tastes in jokes. As my username suggests, I'm quite a peaceful person and take that attitude towards my Civ gaming as well.

If I've offended people, that was not my intention, so for that I apologize.

As for those recalling similar posts to this, well, I can't do much about that. I made a reasonable attempt to find those posts. I did post this in the H&J section and did not find anything remotely similar here.

As for the joke itself, it made me laugh. Anything that makes me laugh I consider a positive thing (those that make me laugh "with", not "at" mind you).

I don't know what else I can do. If I ever make a second attempt to post anything I consider humorous and still get a negative response, I think I'll cease to post here in future and stick to Civ gaming.

way to go to post unfunny stuff first and then make me feel all guilty by being nice!!

youre pure evil!

evil i say!!

:joke:

but i am sorry if i hurt your feelings

This will be my final reply in this particular thread.

I did not take any comment to heart so no harm done on my side.
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion after all.

I will try to make the title a little more appropriate in future posts, as well as put a warning in the post itself like "stay away/don't read if you are easily offended" or some such. I have edited the beginning post and added the warning. I don't know how to edit the title or if it's even possible. If it is possible, perhaps someone could kindly PM me with some instructions on how to do so, otherwise, the title will just have to remain as is.

I just assumed controversial issues wasn't a problem for a H&J section. I guess it's true what they say, assumption is the mother of all ... oops, there I go again, making things worse

yes- not funny and a bit stupid. Free will? God knows all- God can do all....
God knows i will be evil...my "free will" allows me to not be evil- hold it ...god knows all and knows i will be evil ....where is the free will?

I only read the second one, and it's neither funny nor original.

I believe that Einstein started it. He was talking about relativity, and a student said "I don't believe in what you talk, my common sense tells me to only believe in things I see.". Einstein replied: "So I ask the gentlemen to show his common sense so we'll all be able to see it."

Hope this makes you laugh
