The Difference Between Baptists and Catholics
E-mail | Unknown

A little boy was walking down a dirt road after church one Sunday afternoon when he came to a crossroads where he met a little girl coming from the other direction.

"Hello," said the little boy.

"Hi," replied the little girl.

"Where are you going?" asked the little boy.

"I've been to church this morning and I'm on my way home," answered the little girl.

"Me too," replied the little boy. "I'm also on my way home from church."

"Which church do you go to?" asked the little boy.

"I go to the Baptist church back down the road," replied the little girl. "What about you?"

"I go to the Catholic church back at the top of the hill," replied the little boy.

They discover that they are both going the same way so they decided that they'd walk together. They came to a low spot in the road where spring rains had partially flooded the road so there was no way that they could get across to the other side without getting wet. "If I get my new Sunday dress wet my Mom's going to skin me alive," said the little girl.

"My Mom'll tan my hide too if I get my new Sunday suit wet," replied the little boy

"I tell you what I think I'll do," said the little girl. "I'm gonna pull off all my clothes and hold them over my head and wade across."

"That's a good idea," replied the little boy. "I'm going to do the same thing with my suit." So they both undressed and waded across to the other side without getting their clothes wet.

They were standing there in the sun waiting to drip dry before putting their clothes back on when the little boy finally remarked, "You know, I never did realize before just how much difference there really is between a Baptist and a Catholic."

I never thought I'd read a Baptist/Catholic joke that actually doesn't insult either side! Nice!

I thought it was great, and sent it to most of my friends, and both of my children (boy and girl - now mid twenties).

This one is nice because one can insert their own Protestant denomination's name into the Baptist slot.

Or show the difference between a Disciple of Christ member and a Methodist, etc.

Very good. Thanks for the ping. It is a pleasure to read a genuinely funny religion joke, and especially one that doesn't insult anyone.

It is a pleasure to read a genuinely funny religion joke, and especially one that doesn't insult anyone.

Here is one joke told at Church by a local pastor.

Man phones his brother's house.

Little girl's whispering voice: "Hello?"

Man: "Hi, Cindy. It's Uncle Bob. Is your Daddy home?"

Little girl's whispering voice: "Yes, but he's very busy right now.

Man: "What about your Mommy. Is she home?"

Little girl's whispering voice: "She's very busy too."

Man: "Are there any grown-ups there I can talk to? I have to leave a message for your Daddy"

Little girl's whispering voice: "The Policemen are here but they are very busy too.

Man: "Police? There are Policemen there?

Little girl's whispering voice: "Yes. They brought Police doggies and heliocoppers too.

Man: "You mean helicopters? What's going on?!?"

Little girl's whispering voice: "They are trying very hard to find someone."

Man: "Oh my goodness!! Who are they looking for?!?

Little girl's whispering voice: "They're looking for me."

Hah! Very good. Thanks.

Maybe he should shout into the phone, "Here she is!"

It was told by the Pastor at church about three years ago.

I must admit that a lot of sick things have happened since then.
