Well, I AM an atheist (in the minority here), and this forum is ridiculous when it comes to religion / politics and enforcing policies. (If someone with a strong, absolutely unreasonable bond with an imaginary friend wants to make fun of ME, have at it, I guess).

Oh, jeez...lighten up a little, will ya? It was a freakin JOKE, that's all. Nothing to get your panties all twisted about. Nobody's trying to force anything on you, except maybe a laugh or 2, which it sems you could use.
Come on, if you can't laugh at yourself...laugh at someone else.

Ok.

Christ walks into an inne dragging a large cross. He looks up at the inne keeper, hands him some nails, and asks, "Hey, can you put me up for the night?"

im an Atheist and i found it pretty funny

Me too, I just wanted to post my joke

I thought they were both funny.....and I am a southern baptist
