Thankyouverymuch!
A Hunka Hunka Burning Bush?
Do your average fundamentalists or generic "mutt-evangelicals" have any theology of worship? Do they have any standard more rigorous than good taste and good sense to let them know that an Elvis impersonator is not a good idea for a service of worship?
I maintain that they do not. What they do have is mostly a traditional hand down, and subject to "bit rot".
(One of the callers during the above linked Crosstalk episode said she was a preacher somewhere or other. Hmmm. Some issues with theory here, methinks...)
This post brings to mind what I just witnessed. I was channel surfing and stopped on a "religious" channel. The preacher was leading the congregation in fits of laughter. All of them were howling with laughter, all for no reason, just to be laughing. There were one or two faces you could see looked embarassed to be there but overall they shrieked and screamed and rolled around like idiots.
I don't even know what to say.......it's so sad.
This one seems to fill the bill.
Mind if we hijack this one?
OK gang, ELVIS JOKES, LAWYER JOKES; PREACHER JOKES, IMPERSONATOR JOKES and RETRO JOKES are this week's fair.
Keep it clean.
Ping your friends, but just don't let us see you using any lists.

Sorry Alex
Some obscure church in Milwaukee does something stupid, and Rick Warren gets blamed.
Right.
Q: What would Elvis be doing if he was alive right now?
A: Clawing at the inside of his coffin!
Thanks! I didn't expect that answer and laughed.
What is the difference between Elvis and an intelligent blonde?
People have actually reported seeing Elvis.
You Might Be A Redneck If . . .
. . . you were acquitted for murdering your first wife after she threw out your Elvis 45’s.
. . you have an Elvis Jell-O mold.
Ok gang, it's someone else's turn.

The old prospector walked his old mule into a western town after six months alone in the desert without a drop of whiskey. He stopped at the first saloon he came to and tied his mule to the hitching rail.
As he stood there brushing off the dust, a gunslinger came out of the saloon with his gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other. He looked at the old man and laughed. "Hey, old man! Have you ever danced?"
The prospector said, "Nope. Never had no hankerin' to."
The gunslinger said, "Well, you old fool, you're gonna dance now!" and started shooting at the man's feet.
Everybody laughed as the poor old prospector hopped around the street.
When the gunslinger's weapon was empty, he holstered it, and headed back into the saloon.
The prospector grabbed his shotgun from the mule's pack and cocked both hammers. Everyone heard the loud click, including the gunslinger and the street got real quiet, real fast.
The gunslinger slowly turned around and found himself staring straight down the shotgun's barrels.
The prospector quietly asked him, "So, young man! Did you ever kiss a mule's ass?"
The gunslinger swallowed hard and then said, "Nope. But I always had a hankerin' to!"
I checked out the video...

This is tragic. What an insult to religion. Sad state of our country.
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples.
The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
"Take only ONE. God is watching"
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples.
little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a Whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".
The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".
