Well, supposedly the Bible is the word of God, so that's one.

The word of God, obfuscated by man.

The Old Testament was written by man, commanded by God. Can you prove otherwise? I doubt it.

"But tell me, did you ever get tempted - did it ever appeal so much that you couldn't resist and decided to see what, say, bacon tasted like?" the priest goes on. "Yes, father, there was one occasion when, as a young man, the smell of bacon became too much of a temptation and I tasted it," the rabbi admits. "And how did you find it?" asks the priest. "Well, says the rabbi, "Since we are both men of God and being honest with one another, I must confess it was excellent. I enjoyed it very much. But I never ate it ever again."

The priest sits back, looking smug. Later during the flight, the rabbi says to the priest, "Tell me, father - is it still a requirement of your own faith that you do not have sexual intercourse?" "Why yes," says the priest, "That is indeed true." "But were you ever tempted, even once, to see what sexual intercourse is like?" the rabbi continues. "Well, as you were so honest with me, I must confess that indeed, once, when I was a young man, I did have sexual intercourse with a woman," the priest tells him. "Beats the hell out of a bacon sandwich, doesn't it?" says the rabbi.

Same joke another variation.....punch line 'beats pork' don't it???

The Jewish kids and I would be always hacking back and forth about Kosher Pork......

We were on our way back from Australia earlier this year and there were two Muslim men wearing the equivalent of white pajamas with three women in Burkas and two or three kids. When we boarded, the men made a left into first class and the women and children made a right into coach.

I noticed their religion didn't keep them from keeping their glasses full of Glenlivet.

They smelled, too.

Wait until he starts ranting about the opiate of the masses.

I personally think it was an elaborate way to get out of a middle seat assignment on a long Trans-Atlantic flight.
