I don’t know what’s wrong with my cousin, but he is into his second marriage now and seems to have a poor choice in women. His first wife was an alcoholic, this one is a Xtian fundie. He used to be quite “progressive” but now I kind of question that.
Anyway, my aunt had sent a joke to everyone she has in her address book, and my dad in turn did the same. One of those people happens to be my cousin’s fucked up wife. She replied with a seething Christian rant.
I thought it would be fun, to post both e-mails here and see how people here could tear into this, just for a bit of fun. I’m sure that both atheists and “progressive Christians” could tear her apart quite handedly. Her e-mail is so fucked up that it had me literally rolling on the floor with laughter.
My Aunt’s Bush Joke
A plane is about to crash, there are 5 passengers on board but only 4 parachutes.
The First passenger says, “ I am Ranaldo the best football player in the world. The world needs me, and I can not die on my fans.” He grabs a parachute and jumps from the plane.
The Second passenger says, “ I’m Hillary Clinton, wife of the former US President, a senator from New York, and have a good chance of being President in the future. “ She grabs a parachute and jumps from the plane.
The Third passenger says, “I am George W. Bush, President of the United States, I have huge responsibilities in the world. Besides, I am the smartest president in the history of my country and I can’t shun the responsibility to my people by dying.” He grabs a pack and jumps from the plane. “
The Fourth passenger the Pope says to the fifth passenger, a little boy, “ I am old and have lived my life as a good person and a priest should and so I shall leave the last parachute to you who has his whole life ahead of him.”
The fifth passenger, the little boy says, “ Don’t fret old man, There’s a parachute for each of us. The smartest president of America took my school bag.”
The reply from my cousin’s wife
I am hurt and insulted when you make fun and jest at the man who has taken a very tough position and stuck by what he felt was the right thing to do.. President Bush is a man of God, and if you would take the time to read your bible, you might find that we are to support our leaders.. whether or not we agree with them.. In Daniel 2:2-23 it says that God changes times and seasons.. he sets up kings (leaders) and deposes them.. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.. he reveals deep and hidden things.. he knows what lies in darkness and light dwells with him.. So, GOD IS IN CONTROL... In the New Testament, "give to Caesar what is Caesar's"
Maybe if more of us sought to build people up instead of tear them down every chance they got.. this world would be a better place to call home. Thankfully, this is NOT MY HOME, my home is in heaven.. and I can't wait to get there. Those of us who are Christians, and believe that Christ died for our sins and have committed our lives to him, know that we are aliens in this place and time. We are not to judge someone and condemn them for having a "speck" in their eye, when we have a "plank" in our own.. in essence, Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.
just a few words of thought.. and in the future, please remove me from your "patriotic" email list.
