the
pit
one
day while out for a walk a man fell into a large
pit. he tried and he tried but he could not get
himself out of the pit. over time, he gave
up. one day a christian scientist came along and
said, "you only think you are in the
pit." and walked away.
a
few days later a scientologists came by and said,
"if you truly desired to get out of that pit, clear
yourself of all your past and strive to get
out." he too walked away.
then
a baptist came by and said, "only bad people fall
into pits." and he too walked away.
then
a fundamentalist came by and said, "because of your
sins, you deserve to be in your pit." then he
too walked away.
a
few days later a charismatic came by and said,
"just confess that you are not in the pit, and you
will not be in the pit."
then
a couple of methodists came by and said, "we
brought you some food and clothing for you while you are
in this pit."
soon
a presbyterian came by and said, "you know, being
in that pit is no accident. you were born to be in
that pit."
then
and optimist and a pessimist came by. the optimist
said, "could be worse." to which the pessimist
replied, "things will get worse."
jesus,
while walking, came upon the man in the pit.
seeing this he took the man by the hand and pulled him
out of the pit.
