What do you mean by Father?

February 20th, 2011   by   zippy

Got this from a friend that loves forwards.

I thought it would fit well with the current theme of Dissemination. Sometimes, it’s just better to say things clearly and simply. Otherwise, people might not get the message…

Please enjoy, and take it in the spirit intended.

A little boy got on the bus, sat next to a man reading a book, and noticed he had his collar on backwards.

The little boy asked why he wore his collar backwards.

The man, who was a priest, said, ‘I am a Father.’

The little boy replied, ‘My Daddy doesn’t wear his collar like that.’

The priest looked up from his book and answered, ”I am the Father of many.’

The boy said, ”My Dad has 4 boys, 4 girls and two grandchildren and he doesn’t wear his collar that way!’

The priest, getting impatient, said. ‘I am the Father of hundreds’, and went back to reading his book.

The little boy sat quietly thinking for a while, then leaned over and said, “Maybe you should wear a condom, and put your pants on backwards instead of your collar.”

Did God ever ask, “Why am I here?”

It took me a long time to de-convert from that one:

My New Religion

I’m trying out a new religion today.

What do you think?

 

It doesn’t really give me any authority. And sometimes it might make me vulnerable and powerless.

And it might take a lot of practice…

The amazing part of the story is that the pope also conceded it could be morally justified to use condoms with women too.

Maybe there is hope, after all.

A friend found these in a candy shop and thought of me.

Wasn’t that nice?

So, I thought I’d better share.

Enjoy!
