Laughing at Our Divisions

A man was walking across a bridge one day and saw another man standing on the edge, about to jump. The first man ran over to him and said: “Stop. Don’t do it.”

“Why shouldn’t I?” he asked.

“Well,” the first man said, “there’s so much to live for.”

“Like what?” was the response.

“Well,” the first man said, “are you religious?”

He said: “Yes.”

“Me too,” the questioner said. “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.”

“Amazing. 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?”

The potential jumper replied, “Reformed Baptist Church of God, Reformation of 1915.”

Which caused the first man to say, “Die, heretic scum,” and he pushed him off the bridge.
