Thor's Day: Church lite

John Calvin Lite
Serious humor

By Anonymous

Has the heaviness of your old-fashioned church got you weighted down? Try us! We are the New and Improved Lite Church of the Valley. Studies have shown we have 24 percent fewer commitments than other churches.
    We guarantee to trim off guilt, because we are Low-Cal...low Calvin, that is.
    We are the home of the 7.5 percent tithe. We promise 35-minute worship services, with seven-minute sermons.
    Next Sunday's exciting text is the story of the Feeding of the 500.
    We have only Six Commandments—your choice!
    We use just three Gospels in our contemporary New Testament, "Good Sound Bites for Modern Human Beings."
    We take the offering every other week, all major credit cards accepted, of course.
    We are looking forward with great anticipation to our 800-year Millennium.
    Yes, the New and Improved Lite Church of the Valley could be just what you are looking for. We are everything you want in a church...and less!

  1. Anonymous, this is very possibly worthy of a Pulitzer nomination: You should have put your real name on it.
