Probably the most famous verse in all of the Bible. Maybe pagans can't quote the verse but they sure know the phrase "John 3:16. The ETV translation (below) is imaginary but this has to be how an ET person reads these verses:
This is from the yet unreleased ETV (Eternal Torture Version) of the bible.
" For God so loved about 5% of the world, that he gave his only begotten son, so that when these believe before they die, they shall have everlasting life - too bad for the rest of you."
John3:17 reads - "For God sent his Son into the world to condemn the world, but save about 5% through His death on the cross."
:iagree:
But tell me, Jeff, has your sense of humor ever gotten you into trouble? I know mine has... :footmouth:
Ha-ha all the time Laz It is one my greater faults as a christian
because I often take it too far. I even lost a job once over it saying
something sarcastic to my supervisors supervisor.

:doh: Oh, no, that never happened to me, losing a job I mean, only almost... :laughing7:
He asked me which of 2 ways I thought would be better. I suggested one and gave him multiple reasons why one was better and 2 was actually losing money. He then said he decided to go with 2. I said, I just explained to you in detail why one is better. Why do you want 2? He said he liked the placement better. I said, "Oh well, I forgot this was a business that doesn't need to make a profit.
I realized that this incompetent was higher up the corporate ladder because he could keep his mouth shut when a "superior" said something stupid.

It sounds like a
Dilbert comic...
Ded: love the ETV parody! Some things are best brought to light with sarcasm. It made me think of Jonathan Swift's "Modest Proposal".
Laz- I've personally lived many dilbert strips as have many that are or have been in the corporate world. It's probably why his strip is so popular.
Deena - thank you! I'll check out "Modest Proposal" by "Gullivers Travels" author.
