The Atheist Teacher

A young woman teacher explains to her class of children that she
is an atheist. She asks her class if they are atheists too. Not really
knowing what atheism is but wanting to be like their teacher, their
hands explode into the air like fleshy fireworks.

There is, however, one exception. A beautiful girl named Lucy has
not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has
decided to be different.

“Because I’m not an atheist.”

Then, asks the teacher, what are you?

“I’m a Christian.”

The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She
asks Lucy why she is a Christian.

“Well, my mom is a Christian, and my dad is a Christian, so
they helped me become a Christian.”

The teacher is now angry. “That’s no reason,” she says loudly.
“What about if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a
moron. What would you be then?”

A pause, and a smile. “Then,” says Lucy, “I’d be an atheist.”

There is an extreme shortage of common sense in today’s world, When looking back in history, I soon discovered this has always been a problem, Benjamin Franklin once said, ”Of all the senses, common sense seems to be the one that is used the least.”

As simple as it may seem, many seem to be totally oblivious to it. Most if not all of the problems the world faces today could be solved if people would just sit back and think about what would seem to be the most obvious and simple solution to any issue. Often times people tend to over complicate the issues when an easy and simple solution would be obvious.

I often think back to what my parents and grandparents believed and said, at the time I thought they were totally out of their mind and ignored it. I now wish I would have listened and followed their advice more often.

It is now evident they were a lot smarter than we gave them credit. Many times, in today’s world, the schools and universities can no longer be counted on to teach truth and values that will guide someone through life.

A little girl was sitting on her grandfather‘s lap as he read her a goodnight story. From time to time, she would
take her eyes off the book and reach up to touch his wrinkled cheek. Then, she would touch her own cheek, thoughtfully.

Finally she spoke, “Grandpa, did God make you?”

“Yes, sweetheart,” he answered, “God made me a long time ago.”

“Did God make me too?” she asked.

Yes, indeed, honey,” he answered. “God made you just a little while ago.”

She touched his face and then her own again.

“He’s getting better at it, isn’t He?” she said …

The baby boomers and their impact on modern life

Each generation from the beginning of our country has contributed to what our country has become. By the same token, no one is perfect. Consequently, each generation has done and will continue to perform acts that it would have been better if some other course of action was taken.
The baby boomers have contributed much and have been blamed for the decline of America. What is the true story?

A Penny for Your Thoughts

A young Scottish lad and lassie were sitting on a low stone wall, holding hands, and just gazing out over the loch.

For several minutes they sat silently, then finally the girl looked at the boy and said, “A penny for your thoughts, Angus.”

“Well, uh, I was thinkin’ perhaps it’s aboot time for a wee kiss.”

 

The girl blushed, then leaned over and kissed him. Then he blushed. Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch.

After a while the girl spoke again. “Another penny for your thoughts, Angus.”

“Well, uh, I was thinkin’ perhaps its aboot time for a wee cuddle.”

The girl blushed, then leaned over and cuddled him. Then he blushed. Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch.

After a while the girl spoke again. “Another penny for your thoughts, Angus.”

“Well, uh, I was thinkin’ perhaps its aboot time you let me poot me hand on your leg.”

The girl blushed, then took his hand and put it on her leg. Then he blushed. Then the two turned once again to gaze out over the loch.

After a while the girl spoke again. “Another penny for your thoughts, Angus.”

The young man knit his brow. “Well, now,” he said, “my thoughts are a bit more serious this time.”

“Really?” said the girl in a whisper, filled with anticipation.

“Aye,” said the lad.

The girl looked away in shyness, began to blush and bit her lip in anticipation of the ultimate request.

Angus blurted out, “Din’na ye think it’s aboot time ye paid me the first three pennies?”

Getting into Heaven

“If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and
gave all my money to the church, would that get me into
Heaven?” I asked the children in my Sunday School class.

“NO!” the children all answered.

“If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and
kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?”

Again, the answer was, “NO!”

Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all
the children, and loved my wife, would that get me into
Heaven?” I asked them again.

Again, they all answered, “NO!”

“Well, I continued, “then how can I get into Heaven?”

A five-year-old boy shouted out, “YOU GOTTA BE DEAD!”

There has been much debate over the years about what the founding fathers meant about the separation of church and state. In recent times there has been much disinformation about how they actually believed, especially George Washington. In this short Ebook the author tries to explain how they actually felt.

Teenagers are a lot like cats

Teenagers have a lot in common with cats:

Neither teenagers nor cats turn their heads when you call them by name.

No matter what you do for them, it is not enough. Indeed, all humane efforts are barely adequate to compensate for the privilege of waiting on them hand and foot.

Roseau Dominica Tiles by lifejourneysimages
See all the decorative tiles from Zazzle.

You rarely see a cat walking outside of the house with an adult human being, and it can be safely said that no teenager in his or her right mind wants to be seen in public with his or her parents.

Even if you tell jokes as well as Jay Leno, neither your cat nor your teen will ever crack a smile.

No cat or teenager shares your taste in music.

Cats and teenagers can lie on the living-room sofa for hours on end without moving, barely breathing.

Cats are said to have nine lives. Teenagers carry on as if they did, too.

Cats and teenagers yawn in exactly the same manner — communicating that ultimate human ecstasy: a sense of complete and utter boredom.

Cats and teenagers do not improve anyone’s furniture.

Cats that are free to roam outside sometimes have been known to return in the middle of the night to deposit a dead animal in your bedroom. Teenagers are definitely not above that sort of behavior.

Thus, if you must raise teenagers, the best sources of advice are not other parents, but veterinarians. It is also a good idea to keep a guidebook on cats at hand at all times. And remember, above all else, put out the food and do not make any sudden moves in their direction. When they make up their minds, they will finally come to you for some affection and comfort, and it will be a triumphant moment for all concerned.

Throughout man’s long history on earth,there has been one group of people who have carried the torch of liberty and freedom throughout the ages , from time immemorial until the present day. In these days their counsel is need more than ever.

 

Why Men Can't Win

If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race, you’re a male chauvinist. If you stay home and do the housework, you’re a pansy.

Dominica Island Ceramic Tile by lifejourneysimages
See all the decorative tiles from Zazzle.

If you work too hard, there is never any time for her. If you don’t work enough, you’re a good-for-nothing bum.

If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, this is exploitation. If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your ass and find something better.

If you get a promotion ahead of her, that is favoritism. If she gets a job ahead of you, it’s equal opportunity.

If you mention how nice she looks, it’s sexual harassment. If you keep quiet, it’s male indifference.

If you cry, you’re a wimp. If you don’t, you’re an insensitive bastard.

If you make a decision without consulting her, you’re a chauvinist. If she makes a decision without consulting you, she’s a liberated woman.

If you ask her to do something she doesn’t enjoy, that’s domination. If she asks you, it’s a favor.

If you appreciate the female form and frilly underwear, you’re a pervert. If you don’t, you’re a fag.

If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape, you’re a sexist pig. If you don’t, you’re unromantic.

If you try to keep yourself in shape, you’re vain. If you don’t, you’re a slob.

If you buy her flowers, you’re after something. If you don’t, you’re not thoughtful.

If you’re proud of your achievements, you’re up on yourself. If you don’t, you’re not ambitious.

If you’re totally beat after a hard day, you don’t give a damn about other people’s needs. If she’s totally beat after a hard day, she’s tired.

If you want it too often, you’re oversexed. If you don’t, there must be “someone else”.

Dating in 1959

It’s the summer of 1959 and Harold goes to pick up his date, Peggy Sue. Harold’s a pretty hip guy with his own car and a ducktail hairdo.

When he goes to the front door, Peggy Sue’s mother answers and invites him in. “Peggy Sue’s not ready yet, so why don’t you have a seat?”

He does, and Peggy Sue’s mother asks Harold what they’re planning to do.

Harold replies politely that they will probably just go to the malt shop or to a drive-in movie.

Peggy Sue’s mother responds, “Why don’t you kids go out and screw? I hear all the kids are doing it.”

Naturally this comes as quite a surprise to Harold and he stammers “Really?“

“Sure,” says Peggy Sue’s mother, “We know Peggy Sue really likes to screw; why, she’d screw all night if we let her!”

Harold’s eyes light up and he smiles from ear to ear. Immediately, he has revised the plans for the evening. A few minutes later, Peggy Sue comes downstairs in her little poodle skirt with her saddle shoes, and announces that she’s ready to go.

Almost breathless with anticipation, Harold escorts his date out the front door while Mom is saying, “Have a good evening kids,” with a small wink for Harold.

About 20 minutes later, a thoroughly disheveled Peggy Sue rushes back into the house, slams the door behind her and screams at her mother:

“Dammit, Mom! Twist! The Twist! It’s called The Twist!“

The Lost wisdom of our Ancestors

Dear God

Supposedly true excerpts of kids’ Sunday School letters to God.

Dear God: 

• In Sunday School they told us what you do. Who does it when you are on vacation?  
• How did you know you were God? 
• I read the Bible. What does begat mean? Nobody will tell me. Love, Allison 
• On Halloween I am going to wear a Devil’s costume, is that all right with you? 
• Are you really invisible or is that just a trick? 
• Is it true my father won’t get into Heaven if he uses his bowling words in the house? 
• Did you mean for giraffe to look like that or was it an accident? 
• Who draws the lines around the countries? 
• Do animals get to use you too or is there someone else for them? 
• I went to this wedding and they kissed right in the church … is that OK? 
• I like the Lord’s Prayer the best of all. Did you have to write it a lot or did you get it right the first time? I have to write everything I ever write over again. 
• God, it’s OK that you made different religions but don’t you get mixed up sometimes? 
• Did they really talk that fancy in Bible times? 
• I would like to know why all the things you said are in red? 
• Is Reverend Coe a friend of yours or do you just know him through the business? 
• Did you really mean do unto others as they do unto you, because if you did then I’m going to fix my brother. 
• My grandpa says you were around when he was a little boy. How far back DO you go? 
• I know all about where babies come from. I think. From inside mommies and daddies put them there. Where are they before that? Do you have them in Heaven? How do they get down here? Do you have to take care of them all first? Please answer all my questions…I always think of you. Yours Truly, Susan 
• Thank you for the baby brother but what I prayed for was a puppy. 
• Please put another holiday between Christmas and Easter. There is nothing good in there now. 
• Why is Sunday School on Sunday? I thought it was suppose to be our day of rest. 
• I wish you would not make it so easy for people to come apart. I had 3 stitches and a shot. 
• If we come back as something, please don’t let me be Jennifer Horton, because I hate her. Thank You. Love, Denise 
• Please send Dennis Clark to a different camp this year. 
• Maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each other so much if they had their own rooms. It works with my brother. 
• I want to be just like my Daddy when I get big but not with so much hair all over. 
• I keep waiting for Spring but it never comes yet. Please don’t forget. 
• I think the stapler is on of your greatest inventions. 
• I bet it is very hard for you to love all of everybody in the whole world. There are only 4 people in our family and I can never do it. 
• Of all the people who work for you, I like Peter and John the best. 
• My brother told me about being born but it sure doesn’t sound right. 
• If you watch in church on Sunday, I will show you my new shoes. 
• I like the story about Chanuka the best of all of them. You really made up some good ones!! 
• I would like to live for 900 years like the guy in the bible. 
• We read Thomas Edison made light. But in Sunday school they said you did it. So, I bet he stole your idea. 
• If you would of let the dinosaurs not extinct we would not have a country…I think you did the right thing. 
• It is great the way you always get the stars in the Right places.

Doctor's Orders

A woman went to a doctors’ office and was seen by
one of the new doctors.

But after about 4 minutes in the examination room,
she burst out, screaming as she ran down the hall.

An older doctor stopped her and asked her what the
problem was, and when she explained, he had her sit
down and relax in another room.

The older doctor marched back to the first and
demanded, ‘What’s the matter with you? Mrs. Terry
is 63 years old, she has four grown children and seven
grandchildren, and you told her she was PREGNANT??

The new doctor smiled smugly as he continued to write
on his clipboard. ‘Cured her hiccups though, didn’t I?”
