Ten humorous religious pick-up lines I found on line.

You had me at Shalom.

On first dates, I always take girls to get BBQ ribs. It feels the most biblical considering they came from one.

I didn’t know angels flew this low.

So last night I was reading in the book of Numbers, and I realized… I don’t have yours!

I went on a beach mission but all I ended up doing was mission you.

What are you doing for the rest of your afterlife?

Is this the transfiguration? Because you are glowing.

I used to believe in natural theology, but since I met you I’ve converted to divine revelation.

Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?

How many times do I have to walk around you to make you fall for me?

Sweet Jesus, I wanna nail you.

The world would be better off without religious scriptures that promote the killing of members of the LGBTQ community, promote sexism and the subjugation of women, are violent, dogmatic, authoritarian, repressive, judgmental and discriminatory against other fellow human beings.

All the negative things that can be found in many religious scriptures (of various religions), should be removed and edited in a new revised edition, to highlight and promote only the love, self-fulfillment/development, truth and spirituality, that should be among the positive defining tenants of any religion.

15 Quotes on Religion :innocent:

http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/biblianazar/esp_biblianazar_19.htm

“If there is a supreme being, he’s crazy.”–Marlene Dietrich

“I do not pray. . . . I do not expect God to single me out and grant me advantages over my fellow men. . . . Prayer seems to me a cry of weakness, and an attempt to avoid, by trickery, the rules of the game as laid down. I do not choose to admit weakness. I accept the challenge of responsibility.”–Zora Neale Hurston

“There was a time when religion ruled the world. It is known as the Dark Ages.”–Ruth Hurmence Green

“Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.”–Isaac Asimov

“Historian Larry Hise notes in his book Pro-Slavery that ministers ‘wrote almost half of all defences of slavery published in America.’ He listed 275 men of the cloth who used the Bible to prove that white people were entitled to own black people as work animals.”–James Haught

“How should I know anything about another world when I know so little of this?”–Confucius

“All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.”–Ralph Waldo Emerson

“To terrify children with the image of hell, to consider women an inferior creation—is that good for the world?”-Christopher Hitchens

“Mid-1800’s estimates reported 80,000 slaves owned by Presbyterians, 225,000 by Baptists and 250,000 by Methodists. Anglicans probably owned most of the rest of the nearly 4 million blacks held in serfdom in the United States at the outbreak of the Civil War.”–Anne Gaylor

“I’m an atheist and that’s it. I believe there’s nothing we can know except that we should be kind to each other and do what we can for other people.”–Katharine Hepburn

Drunk Jesus Joke :dizzy_face:

A drunk staggers out of a bar and runs into two priests. He stumbles up to them and says, ‘‘I’m Jesus Christ.’’ The first priest says, ‘‘No, son, you’re not Jesus Christ.’’ So the drunk says it to the second priest. The second priest replies, ‘‘No, son, you’re not Jesus Christ.’’ The drunk says, ‘‘Look, I can prove it.’’ and walks back into the bar with the priests. The bartender takes one look at the drunk and exclaims, ‘‘Jesus Christ!, you’‘re here again?’’

The Bible gives humans dominion over the Earth and the animals that live on Earth. The Bible says God provided “every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”

Genesis 1:26,28 and 29

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

Video from a caring, charming, loving and intelligent young lady.

Animals and our Planet: "We must be kinder "

“If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things.”

Two More Religious Jokes~

#1

There was a preacher who fell in the ocean and he couldn’t swim. When a boat came by, the captain yelled, “Do you need help, sir?” The preacher calmly said “No, God will save me.” A little later, another boat came by and a fisherman asked, “Hey, do you need help?” The preacher replied again, “No God will save me.” Eventually the preacher drowned & went to heaven. The preacher asked God, “Why didn’t you save me?” God replied, “Fool, I sent you two boats!”

#2

A man is talking to God. “God, how long is a million years?” God answers, “To me, it’s about a minute.” The man asks God, “God, how much is a million dollars?” God answers, “To me, it’s a penny.” The man asks God, “God, may I have a penny?” God answers, “Wait a minute.”
