Charismatic: Only 1 - Hands are already in the air.

Presbyterians: None - Lights will go on and off at predestined times.
Roman Catholic: None - Candles only. (Of guaranteed origin of course.)
Baptists: At least 15 - One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad and fried chicken.
Episcopalians: 3 - One to call the electrician, one to mix the drinks, and one to talk about how much better the old one was.
Mormons: 5 - One man to change the bulb, and four wives to tell him how to do it.Unitarians: We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light bulbs work for you, you are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for the next Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, 3-way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.
Methodists: Undetermined - Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved. You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or tulip bulb. Bring a bulb of your choice to the Sunday lighting service and a covered dish to pass.
Nazarene: 6 - One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church lighting policy.
Lutherans: None - Lutherans don't believe in change.

Amish: What’s a light bulb?

Could you maybe reflect on that thought instead of how should I say this..reflecting on other people's religion in a harsh manner? It's just a thought.

Why, after all this forum is a place of debate? I agree that she should not come on to the Christian Hang out and say anything derogatory about Christians, it should be a safe haven, but any other thread in the religious forum is fair game as long as the rules are followed. Maybe I missed it, but I don't think she said anything really bad. Are you just a little too sensitive?

Perhaps you are right. I may be a little to sensitive. What makes you think someone else didn't took it more seriously then you or I? I am not religious nor will I ever will be most likely. Though, it still seems making even the slightest crack even for the sake of comedic purposes towards something such as religion would strike a few people harder then others.

I agree with you. That is way I started the thread Non-Christian Hang out, to give a place for such things, but people don't use it. This thread should be left for the Christians and no one should bring controversial comments with them here. However, I give people the benefit of the doubt, and if someone gets bent because of a joke, then they need to not read the joke. 😄

Hey, these two little chat rooms are for fun...nothing serious...But seems like they needed some help cause everyone talks about food in here, but if I'm insulting someone with silly jokes, which by the way, I don't get offended at jokes towards me...I can keep the jokes to the non Christian chat room....But I was told earlier by some Catholics that the Jokes were ok about their faith....BTW..jokes are not slams...they are just for fun.....If you can't laugh at yourself...then you need to try a little harder...Life can't be all serious you know... 😄

I suppose you are right. Please, forgive me for overreacting some. I just tend to respect other people's religions without playing a joke of them. It would be well to hear those people's opinions on the subject of joking about religion. Religion seems to be something one should take serious and respect without throwing jokes in. It's more or less the respect issue that I was concerned with.

Just thought I'd spice up the room..................Sooooooooooo quite in here you know.

I heard a story once that was funny but true. I don't know the details, so I will be vague.

During the mid-evil times a monastery in England used to make beer, really strong dark beer. But the head monk was not sure if it was a good thing to do because of the fact that the beer was strong. So he sent a few of the kegs of the beer to the Vatican with a note asking if it was ok to make this strong beer. Well, the people in the Vatican had never tasted beer and were used to wine, so when they drank the beer they thought it was so bad that they sent a note back to the monastery in England saying, drank as much of this beer as you like, it is so bad that drinking it will be considered a penance.

I have probable mutilated the story and got it all wrong, but this is how I remember it.

That's kind of interesting.

I thought it was funny the first time I heard it. It reminded me of the first time a tasted beer; thought it was really bad, now, I love it.

BTW Always drink responsibly and never drink and drive!!! 😄

Yes, that should be placed under the Golden Rule. Though people can't seem to catch a hold of it. I wonder who won't try beer in the future or haven't already. I know I sure have. 🙁

I didn't drink beer until I was in the army. In basic training, about half way though, we were allowed to have one beer as a treat. Now, if you've ever been in the military you will know that during basic training you get no treats and most of the things you take for grated are taken away. So, when offered a treat, I was not going to turn it down. 😄

Hey, what do you think about this site?????

I have heard of this church before, mostly outside of the US.

As long as no one is hurt, I ok with it. Using drugs in religious ceremonies is an old practice in non Christian groups, to see it in a Christian group is interesting.
