Your Favorite Religious Jokes! (please read rules)
There's been a lot of serious theological discussion on these forums lately, so I think we should have a more lighthearted religion thread! This thread will be for posting jokes related to your religion. Do you identify as theist or agnostic? We will count those too! All beliefs are welcome here with a few ground rules.
1. Post jokes only about your own religion. Memes are also welcome. We want to keep this thread in good faith (hehe) so no targeting other people. Most people on this forum wouldn't do so to intentionally harm anyway, this is just to avoid arguments due to miscommunication or misread intent.
2. This is not a debate thread. Jokes and joke discussion only please.
3. Not everyone can know the specifics of your belief system, so explaining the joke for us heathens in spoiler tags is appreciated.
4. Have fun!

No explanarion necessary (unless you've never heard of Jeopardy).
Too cute!
In a Sunday School class, the teacher tells the story of the "Flight Out of Egypt", and then tells the kids to draw it. And she's walking up and down the isles, "What a pretty picture, Tina!", "Oh, Steven, you're such a wonderful artist!". Finally, she stops by the desk of Johnny. "What an interesting picture, Johnny!" She says, "Why are they on a plane?" Johnny asnwers, "Because it's the fight out of Egypt." And she says, "Okay, who are those three people in the back?" "That's the holy family!" Johnny replies. "Okay, I understand that," The teacher says, "But who's that up front?" Little Johnny smiles. "That's Pontius. He's the pilate!"

A famous surgeon dies and goes to Heaven. Saint Peter meets him at the gates and gives him the tour. Afterwards, he takes him to the commissary for something to eat. It's cafeteria style- pick out what you want, and pay at the end. As they are waiting in line to pay, a man comes in, dressed in a full set of surgeon's scrubs, booties, apron, face mask, the whole nine yards. But instead of waiting in line like everyone else, he picks things off other people's trays, puts them on his, and instead of paying, he sort of waves at the cashier and walks out.
The Surgeon is utterly incensed. "Who *is* that?" he asks St. Peter. "How dare he!"
St. Peter leans in close and whispers. "That's God, He only THINKS he's a surgeon."

In Catechism class, the kids are getting ready for their first communion, all in dresses and little suits. Then, the priest comes in and tells the class he has some questions to ask them. So they all nod and take a seat. The priest looks them over solemnly and asks, "What is the resurrection?" and the kids look at each other and look at each other, until one boy in the back hesitantly raises his hand. "Yes, Bobby!" says the priest. "What is the resurrection?"
And Bobby squirms uncomfortably and says, "I'm not really sure, but if it lasts more than four hours, you need to see a doctor..."

She was only joking.
Your Jesus one is pretty good. Supposedly he would have been an arab jew.
Did you know Jesus owned a Honda? He and his disciples were in one Accord.
And he also owned a Plymoth- He rode off in a Fury.
In the beginning, God created the earth and rested.
Then God created Man and rested.
Then God created Woman.
Since then, neither God nor Man has rested.
A Woman went to the Post Office to buy stamps for her Christmas cards.

Little Johnny's new baby brother was screaming up a storm.
Johnny asked his mom, “Where’d he come from?”
“He came from heaven, Johnny.”

A teacher asked the children in her Sunday School class, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would I get into heaven?"
"NO!" the children all answered.
"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would I get into heaven?"
Again, the answer was "NO!"
"Well," she continued, "then how can I get to heaven?"
In the back of the room, a five-year-old boy shouted out, "You gotta be dead!"

Two. One to actually change the bulb, and the other to videotape the job so fundamentalists won’t claim that god did it.

Paraphrasing from Russell Brand's Messiah complex show
There was a preacher who fell in the ocean and he couldn't swim. When a boat came by, the captain yelled, "Do you need help, sir?" The preacher calmly said "No, God will save me." A little later, another boat came by and a fisherman asked, "Hey, do you need help?" The preacher replied again, "No God will save me." Eventually the preacher drowned & went to heaven. The preacher asked God, "Why didn't you save me?" God replied, "Fool, I sent you two boats!"
On their way to get married, a young Catholic couple is involved in a fatal car accident. The couple found themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven. While waiting, they began to wonder: Could they possibly get married in Heaven? When St. Peter showed up, they asked him. St. Peter said, "I don't know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Let me go find out,'" and he left. The couple sat and waited, and waited. Two months passed and the couple were still waiting. While waiting, they began to wonder what would happen if it didn't work out; could you get a divorce in heaven? After yet another month, St. Peter finally returned, looking somewhat bedraggled. "Yes," he informed the couple, "You can get married in Heaven." "Great!" said the couple, "But we were just wondering, what if things don't work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?" St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slammed his clipboard onto the ground. "What's wrong?" asked the frightened couple. "OH, COME ON!," St. Peter shouted, "It took me three months to find a priest up here! Do you have any idea how long it'll take me to find a lawyer?"
A man is talking to God. "God, how long is a million years?"
God answers, "To me, it's about a minute."
"God, how much is a million dollars?"
"To me, it's a penny."
"God, may I have a penny?"
"Wait a minute."
Jesus, Moses, and an old man go golfing. The first one to tee off is Moses. He smashes the ball and it is heading right for the water hazard before the green. Moses raises his club, the water parts, and the ball makes it to the green. Jesus gets up to swing, cranks it out, and it is headed for the water hazard. Jesus closes his eyes and prays. The ball skips across the water and lands on the green two feet from the hole. The old man's turn comes and he drives the ball. The ball looks like it is going to drop directly into the water. A fish jumps from the water hazard swallowing the ball, as an eagle drops from the sky, grabbing the fish. As the eagle flies over the green, a bolt of lightning strikes the eagle, making it drop the fish. As the fish hits the green, it spits out the ball and the ball falls into the hole, making a hole in one. Jesus looks at Moses and says, "I really think I'm leaving Dad at home next time!"
An old man goes to a church, and is making a confession:
Man: "Father, I am 75 years old. I have been married for 50 years. All these years I had been faithful to my wife, but yesterday I was intimate with an 18 year old."
Father: "When was the last time you made a confession?"
Man: "I never have, I am Jewish."
Father: "Then why are telling me all this?"
Man: "I’m telling everybody!"

A priest, a minister, and a rabbi want to see who’s best at his job. So they each go into the woods, find a bear, and attempt to convert it. Later they get together. The priest begins: “When I found the bear, I read to him from the Catechism and sprinkled him with holy water. Next week is his first communion.” “I found a bear by the stream,” says the minister, “and preached God’s holy word. The bear was so mesmerized that he let me baptize him.” They both look down at the rabbi, who is lying on a gurney in a body cast. “Looking back,” he says, “maybe I shouldn't have started with the circumcision.”
Here's a Christian pickup line:
"So, I was reading the book of Numbers lately, and I noticed yours wasn't in there."
“What did Jesus do on this day?” she asked. There was no response, so she gave her students a hint: “It starts with the letter R.”
One boy blurted, “Recycle!”
The last time we changed from daylight saving time, a preacher friend posted, “For those who habitually show up 15 minutes late to church, allow me to remind you that tonight is the night you set your clock back 45 minutes.”
Gary was having a yard sale. A minister bought a lawn mower but returned it a few days later, complaining that it wouldn’t run.
“It’ll run,” said Gary. “But you have to curse at it to get it started.”
The minister was shocked. “I have not uttered a curse in 30 years.”
“Just keep pulling on the starter rope—the words will come back to you.”
Religion is generally a verboten topic for everyone at work, except for Larry. Recently, after he steered yet another conversation toward the subject, a coworker whispered to me, “That Larry—he always has to put his two saints in.”

We were reading The Wisdom of King Solomon in my Sunday school class. An illustration showed King Solomon ordering a child to be cut in half, as one woman sobbed and another watched uncaringly.
Pointing to the heartless woman, a young boy said, “I hope she ends up with the part that has the butt on it.”
Two doctors and an HMO manager die and line up together at the Pearly Gates. One doctor steps forward and tells St. Peter, "As a pediatric surgeon, I saved hundreds of children." St. Peter lets him enter.
The next doctor says, "As a psychiatrist, I helped thousands of people live better lives." St. Peter tells him to go ahead.
The last man says, "I was an HMO manager. I got countless families cost-effective health care."
St. Peter replies, "You may enter. But," he adds, "you can only stay for three days. After that, you can go to hell."
Howard dies and waits in line for judgment. He notices that some souls go right into heaven, while Satan throws others into a burning pit. But every so often, instead of hurling a poor soul into the fire, the devil tosses it aside. Curious, Howard asks Satan, “Excuse me, but why are you tossing them aside instead of flinging them into hell with the others?”
“They’re from Seattle,” Satan replies. “They’re too wet to burn.”
