This was posted on totse a while ago and thought those who hadnt seen it might like it. The second piece was one i got off a relative. (not shore if the 2nd one is acurate with its relation to the bible)

Both i found very funny.

---------------------------------------------

This morning there was a knock at my door. When I answered the door I found a well groomed, nicely dressed couple. The man spoke first:

John: "Hi! I'm John, and this is Mary."

Mary: "Hi! We're here to invite you to come kiss Hank's ass with us."

Me: "Pardon me?! What are you talking about? Who's Hank, and why would I want to kiss His ass?"

John: "If you kiss Hank's ass, He'll give you a million dollars; and if you don't, He'll kick the shit out of you."

Me: "What? Is this some sort of bizarre mob shake-down?"

John: "Hank is a billionaire philanthropist. Hank built this town. Hank owns this town. He can do whatever He wants, and what He wants is to give you a million dollars, but He can't until you kiss His ass."

Me: "That doesn't make any sense. Why..."

Mary: "Who are you to question Hank's gift? Don't you want a million dollars? Isn't it worth a little kiss on the ass?"

Me: "Well maybe, if it's legit, but..."

John: "Then come kiss Hank's ass with us."

Me: "Do you kiss Hank's ass often?"

Mary: "Oh yes, all the time..."

Me: "And has He given you a million dollars?"

John: "Well no. You don't actually get the money until you leave town."

Me: "So why don't you just leave town now?"

Mary: "You can't leave until Hank tells you to, or you don't get the money, and He kicks the shit out of you."

Me: "Do you know anyone who kissed Hank's ass, left town, and got the million dollars?"

John: "My mother kissed Hank's ass for years. She left town last year, and I'm sure she got the money."

Me: "Haven't you talked to her since then?"

John: "Of course not, Hank doesn't allow it."

Me: "So what makes you think He'll actually give you the money if you've never talked to anyone who got the money?"

Mary: "Well, He gives you a little bit before you leave. Maybe you'll get a raise, maybe you'll win a small lotto, maybe you'll just find a twenty-dollar bill on the street."

Me: "What's that got to do with Hank?"

John: "Hank has certain 'connections.'"

Me: "I'm sorry, but this sounds like some sort of bizarre con game."

John: "But it's a million dollars, can you really take the chance? And remember, if you don't kiss Hank's ass He'll kick the shit of you."

Me: "Maybe if I could see Hank, talk to Him, get the details straight from Him..."

Mary: "No one sees Hank, no one talks to Hank."

Me: "Then how do you kiss His ass?"

John: "Sometimes we just blow Him a kiss, and think of His ass. Other times we kiss Karl's ass, and he passes it on."

Me: "Who's Karl?"

Mary: "A friend of ours. He's the one who taught us all about kissing Hank's ass. All we had to do was take him out to dinner a few times."

Me: "And you just took his word for it when he said there was a Hank, that Hank wanted you to kiss His ass, and that Hank would reward you?"

John: "Oh no! Karl has a letter he got from Hank years ago explaining the whole thing. Here's a copy; see for yourself."

* From the desk of Karl **

1. Kiss Hank's ass and He'll give you a million dollars when you leave town.

2. Use alcohol in moderation.

3. Kick the shit out of people who aren't like you.

4. Eat right.

5. Hank dictated this list Himself.

6. The moon is made of green cheese.

7. Everything Hank says is right.

8. Wash your hands after going to the bathroom.

9. Don't use alcohol.

10. Eat your wieners on buns, no condiments.

11. Kiss Hank's ass or He'll kick the shit out of you.

Me: "This appears to be written on Karl's letterhead."

Mary: "Hank didn't have any paper."

Me: "I have a hunch that if we checked we'd find this is Karl's handwriting."

John: "Of course, Hank dictated it."

Me: "I thought you said no one gets to see Hank?"

Mary: "Not now, but years ago He would talk to some people."

Me: "I thought you said He was a philanthropist. What sort of philanthropist kicks the shit out of people just because they're different?"

Mary: "It's what Hank wants, and Hank's always right."

Me: "How do you figure that?"

Mary: "Item 7 says 'Everything Hank says is right.' That's good enough for me!"

Me: "Maybe your friend Karl just made the whole thing up."

John: "No way! Item 5 says 'Hank dictated this list himself.' Besides, item 2 says 'Use alcohol in moderation,' Item 4 says 'Eat right,' and item 8 says 'Wash your hands after going to the bathroom.' Everyone knows those things are right, so the rest must be true, too."

Me: "But 9 says 'Don't use alcohol.' which doesn't quite go with item 2, and 6 says 'The moon is made of green cheese,' which is just plain wrong."

John: "There's no contradiction between 9 and 2, 9 just clarifies 2. As far as 6 goes, you've never been to the moon, so you can't say for sure."

Me: "Scientists have pretty firmly established that the moon is made of rock..."

Mary: "But they don't know if the rock came from the Earth, or from out of space, so it could just as easily be green cheese."

Me: "I'm not really an expert, but I think the theory that the Moon was somehow 'captured' by the Earth has been discounted*. Besides, not knowing where the rock came from doesn't make it cheese."

John: "Ha! You just admitted that scientists make mistakes, but we know Hank is always right!"

Me: "We do?"

Mary: "Of course we do, Item 7 says so."

Me: "You're saying Hank's always right because the list says so, the list is right because Hank dictated it, and we know that Hank dictated it because the list says so. That's circular logic, no different than saying 'Hank's right because He says He's right.'"

John: "Now you're getting it! It's so rewarding to see someone come around to Hank's way of thinking."

Me: "But...oh, never mind. What's the deal with wieners?"

Mary: She blushes.

John: "Wieners, in buns, no condiments. It's Hank's way. Anything else is wrong."

Me: "What if I don't have a bun?"

John: "No bun, no wiener. A wiener without a bun is wrong."

Me: "No relish? No Mustard?"

Mary: She looks positively stricken.

John: He's shouting. "There's no need for such language! Condiments of any kind are wrong!"

Me: "So a big pile of sauerkraut with some wieners chopped up in it would be out of the question?"

Mary: Sticks her fingers in her ears. "I am not listening to this. La la la, la la, la la la."

John: "That's disgusting. Only some sort of evil deviant would eat that..."

Me: "It's good! I eat it all the time."

Mary: She faints.

John: He catches Mary. "Well, if I'd known you were one of those I wouldn't have wasted my time. When Hank kicks the shit out of you I'll be there, counting my money and laughing. I'll kiss Hank's ass for you, you bunless cut-wienered kraut-eater."

With this, John dragged Mary to their waiting car, and sped off.

Dear oprah:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding god's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him or her that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.

I do need some advice from you however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to follow them.

a)When I burn a bull on the alter as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the lord(Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbours. They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should i smite them?

b)I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

c)I know that i am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24) The problem is, how do i tell? I have tried asking, but most woman take offence.

d)Lev. 25:44 states that i may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, providing they are purchased from neighbouring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why cant i own Canadians?

e)I have a neighbour who insists to work on the Sunday (the Sabbath). In the book of Exodus verse 35:2 it clearly states he should be put to death. Am i morally obligated to kill him myself?

f)A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination(Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don’t agree. Can you settle this.

g)Lev. 21:20 states that i may not approach the alter of God if i have defect in my sight. I have to admit i wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

h)Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should the die?

i)I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may i still play football if i wear gloves?

j)My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them?(Lev. 24:10-16). Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws. (Lev. 20:14). I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your devoted disciple and adoring fan.

Yeah, I read that Hank thing earlier, and I've got to say I believe in Hank more than I believe in Christianity because John and Mary's circular logic is far more rock solid than that discribed by the bible.

"No marriage for people who eat their weiners without buns or with condiments because everybody knows that marriage is a union between two buns and weiner only eating persons and a child cannot be raised by a condiment with weiner eating monsters!" god it's disgusting how christians can get so caught up in their religion that they would deprive others of their human rights and equalities for this thing their circular logic god says. Fuck I don't care if you believe, but acknowledge that your theory is circular logic and although it is possible you are not right and cannot force others into your lifestyle. You cannot force your rules upon them, this is why it is disgusting how a gay marriage ban passed in Texas in today's elections. I like this thread and hope that the Christians will come to see it so they can see the metaphor to their religion. Yes, it is a possibility that they are right, but it is similar to that of Hank's ass, it is circular logic and they may not think inside their religion that they can risk it, but they cannot stop others from risking it themselves, and you may argue that we have to acknowledge that there is a possibility that you are right as well, which I do, but it is a 0% possibility of being right, as a single point on a plane fills up 0% of the entire plane, there is a chance that that random point is (-372.038,1999265.0375) but the chances that it actually is is 0 scientifically speaking, so statistically you are wrong, but inside your religion you are possibly right.

Sorry, I totally lost focus on what I was origionally talking about, too many ideas.

Yeah, sorry... but this is a good thread nevertheless, why aren't Christians posting here to defend their faith?? I most definately don't see enough stonings going on, or family burning rituals for the amount of sinning there is in this world. Remember god's word is eternal and unchanging. And Christians sometimes base their belief off of Christianity making people more moral, when infact it could not be farther from the truth. Well, what are your thoughts??

Because, not only is this a trap and mental ambush, it is mostly about the mockery of Jewish law and tradition. It is the covenent between the Jews of Israel and God.

Christians (the gentiles) have another covenent.

When we talk about that covenent I'll speak up.

"God does not judge by external appearance—those men added nothing to my message."

Galations 2:6

"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Hebrews 4:12

"Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear." 1Peter1:17

This isn't exactly a good cross section of scripture to prove my point but the view is; God doesn't judge by appearances. No longer are we, as gentile, subject to the civil and ceremonial laws of the Jews. These, as law, still stand but we are covered by following Jesus as the law was a shadow of things to come that has come. God will judge impartially our deepest secrets of heart and mind it is our deeds and intents which are judged.

I hope the point is seen. We should not judge others by appearance least we judge anybody at all in this era.
