That's funny, but I always hear about the conservative Christian right, and Christians always seem to align with the GOP/Republicans. Even VP Mike Pence says he's "a Christian, a conservative, and a republican." I'm confused why you associate a Christian with a leftist? Because left usually implies liberal. I think the joke works better without the leftist bit. Kind of deflates the punchline.A young woman brought her fiancé home to meet her parents. After dinner, her mother told the girl's father to find out about the young man. The father invited the fiancé to his study for a talk.
"So, what are your plans?" the father asked the young man.
"I am a biblical scholar," he replied
"A biblical scholar, hmmm?" the father said. "Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in?"
"I will study," the young man replied, "and God will provide for us."
"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asked the father.
"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replied, "God will provide for us."
"And children?" asked the father. "How will you support children?"
"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replied the fiancé.
The conversation proceeded like this...and each time the father questioned, the young idealist insisted that God would provide.
Later, the mother asked, "How did your talk go, honey?"
The father answered, "He's a leftist. He has no job, he has no plans, no money saved, and he thinks I'm God."
Derf, in my own defense, I must admit that this joke was sent to me by an old friend. In the punch line, he used the word, Democrat, rather than leftist. I decided to tone it down a little and use leftist instead so that it would not be criticized as a political post. I suppose I could have said "illegal immigrant", but I judged that might have been an invitation to disaster.That's funny, but I always hear about the conservative Christian right, and Christians always seem to align with the GOP/Republicans.
