__________________ No one on this earth can avoid affliction; and although the
afflictions which the Lord sends are not great men imagine them
beyond their strength and are crushed by them. This is because
they will not humble their souls and commit themselves to the will
of God. But the Lord Himself guides with His grace those who are
given over to God's will, and they bear all things with fortitude
for the sake of God Whom they have so loved and with Whom they are
glorified for ever. It is impossible to escape tribulation in this
world but the man who is giver over to the will of God bears
tribulation easily, seeing it but putting his trust in the Lord,
and so his tribulations pass.

I was a schizophrenic once but I'm better now, and me.
Haha reminds me of:
"I had a discussion with myself last night. We both agreed we don't have a 'multiple personality disorder'."

How many multiple personality people does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Possibly the first of these was going around the Vatican in 1633:
How many Galileo s does it take to screw in a light bulb?
One, he just stands there while the World turns...

Doubt is the greatest thing there is, not certainty. For example, no-one ever killed someone because they were not sure about something. Plenty have killed because they were sure.

Why did the atheist throw her watch out the window?
She wanted to see if it was designed intelligently enough to evolve into a bird.
==================
Richard Dawkins, Barack Obama and Jesus are standing by a river, wondering how to get across.
Jesus suggests they all simply walk across the surface of the water. Dawkins goes first, and to the amazement of the other two, runs lightly across the surface to the other side! Obama follows him, skipping lightly across to join him. Jesus takes two steps and falls into the water up to his neck. Dawkins grins, turns to Obama and says "Good on you for not telling him about the stepping stones." Obama replies "What stepping stones?"
