I'd like to buy a bra for my wife
A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy's, and walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife"
"What type of bra?" asked the clerk.
"Type?" inquires the man. "There is more than one type?"
"Look around," said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in
every shape, size, color and material. "Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only three types of bras," replied the salesclerk.
Confused, the man asked what were the types.
The saleslady replied "The Catholic type, the, Salvation Army type, and the Baptist type. Which one do you need?"
Still confused the man asked, "What is the difference between
them?"
The lady responded, "It is all really quite simple. The Catholic type is the bra for the masses, the Salvation Army type lifts up the fallen, and the Baptist type makes mountains out of mole hills.
Editors Note:
The implications in this joke do not necessarily reflect the denomination mentioned. But the joke does point out how people use religion in ways similar to how women use bras.
The first one the "bra for the masses", represents people who want a bra but not support. These are people who want a religion, but don't want a personal relationship with God.
The second one that "lifts up the fallen" represents people who want support. These people need help from God and develop a personal relationship with God.
And the last one that "makes mountains out of mole hills", represents people who get caught up in legalism, where rules become more important than a relationship with God.
True religion is represented in all three of the denominations mentioned in the joke. True religion is when an individual recognizes their need for God, and then develops a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and then lives to please God. Here is a link that explains this.
