OOHHHHH!!!! I got it!!!! Have the Babtist Pastor, the Catholic Priest, the Mormon Bishop and an agnostic all get together and pray for a candy bar. Whoever get's the candy bar...they win!!!!!!! (The agnostic will win because he will know to go to the store and purchase one.)

Besides, this guy calls himself a "Pastor"...cognate with "shepherd", a self-proclaimed feeder of the sheep. I think I like the term Pope better afterall.

It would be a tie between the agnostic and the Mormon bishop because of the following teaching by Spencer W. Kimball (former LDS president):

Pray as if everything depended on the Lord, then work as if everything depended on you.

But you remind me of a great joke I heard once (told from the Mormon perspective, you may change the punch line to suit your religion of preference without ruining the joke.)

Billy Graham, Pope John Paull II, and Gordon B. Hinckley were sitting together fishing in a boat. They were getting hungry, so the Pope offered to get some sandwiches from the small store on the shore some hundred yards distant.

The Pope jumps out of the boat, dashes across the top of the water, buys the sandwiches, and comes walking back across the water and into the boat.

After eating the sandwiches, they get thirsty, so President Hinckley offers to grab some sodas. He hops out of the boat, trots across the surface of the water to the store, gets the sodas and walks back across the water into the boat.

A short time after that, they run out of bait. Wanting to take his turn to help, Billy Graham offers to buy some bait.

He hops out of the boat, whereupon he immediately sinks below the water.

The Pope turns to President Hinckley and says: Do you think we should have told him about the sand bar?

President Hinckley responds: What sand bar?

The agnostic won't be sure if he needs to go to the store or not. He won't be sure if the store even exists or not. He'll need to see the candy bar in person before he'll believe the store actually carries it.

Actually the agnostic would not be certain there really is a candy bar.
