RELIGIOUS NUTS

THERE WERE FOUR COUNTRY CHURCHES

IN A SMALL TEXAS TOWN:

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH,

THE BAPTIST CHURCH,

THE METHODIST CHURCH AND

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

EACH CHURCH WAS OVERRUN WITH PESKY SQUIRRELS.

ONE DAY, THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH CALLED A

MEETING TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE SQUIRRELS.

AFTER MUCH PRAYER AND CONSIDERATION THEY

DETERMINED THAT THE SQUIRRELS WERE PREDESTINED

TO BE THERE AND THEY SHOULDN'T INTERFERE

WITH GOD'S DIVINE WILL.

IN THE BAPTIST CHURCH THE SQUIRRELS HAD TAKEN

UP HABITATION IN THE BAPTISTERY.

THE DEACONS MET AND DECIDED TO PUT A COVER ON

THE BAPTISTERY AND DROWN THE SQUIRRELS IN IT.

THE SQUIRRELS ESCAPED SOMEHOW AND THERE

WERE TWICE AS MANY THERE THE NEXT WEEK.

THE METHODIST CHURCH GOT TOGETHER AND

DECIDED THAT THEY WERE NOT IN A POSITION TO HARM

ANY OF GOD'S CREATION. SO, THEY HUMANELY

TRAPPED THE SQUIRRELS AND SET THEM FREE A

FEW MILES OUTSIDE OF TOWN.

THREE DAYS LATER, THE SQUIRRELS WERE BACK.

BUT -- THE CATHOLIC CHURCH CAME UP WITH THE

BEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION.

THEY BAPTIZED THE SQUIRRELS AND REGISTERED

THEM AS MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH.

NOW THEY ONLY SEE THEM ON CHRISTMAS AND EASTER.
