Sectarian Scum
–
I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said “Stop! don’t do it!”
“Why shouldn’t I?” he said.
I said, “Well, there’s so much to live for!”
He said, “Like what?” I said, “Well…are you religious or atheist?” He said, “Religious.”I said, “Me too!
Are you christian or Buddhist?” He said, “Christian.” I said, “Me too!
Are you catholic or protestant?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me too!
Are you Episcopalian or baptist?” He said, “Baptist!” I said,”Wow! Me too!
Are you baptist church of god or baptist church of the lord?” He said, “Baptist church of god!” I said, “Me too!
Are you original baptist church of god, or are you reformed baptist church of god?” He said,”Reformed Baptist church of god!” I said, “Me too!
Are you reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1879, or reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1915?” He said, “Reformed baptist church of god, reformation of 1915!” I said, “Die, heretic scum”, and pushed him off. — Emo Phillips
