The best religion

  The world one day decided to settle which one is the best religion. and the one who wins will be the one used for all mankind (and womankind).
  
  after the eliminations, they were left with 3 to compete for the title of sole global religion.
  
  on top of a high mountain: the muslim high priest, the buddhist dalai lama and the catholic pope were preparing for the last test. the final test was that each should jump and pray their greatest prayer to save them from certain death.
  
  the first one to go was the muslim. he jumped. started reciting the koran. halfway down, he was still falling so he recited louder. a few meters from the ground, still falling, he started screaming at allah. then a few seconds laters, he was splat on the ground. the muslims in the crowd were disraught, seeing their religion out of the competition.
  
  then the next one jumped. the buddhist. calmly he assumed the lotus position, beads in hand. started reciting, amida buddha... buddha.. buddha... then he started to float halfway down the fall. and glided down to safety. the buddhist supporters cheered.
  
  the pope was under pressure. this was it, so he jumped. he started by praying the rosary. but he was still falling fast. he took out the bible and began reading passages. still gravity was pulling him down to earth fast. oh my god.. oh my god save meeeee. he screamed when he saw that he was just a few meters before he becomes earth stain. seeing that it might be the end...
  
  ...he goes into a lotus position and started reciting.. buddha.. buddha... buddha...

  It's insulting. Not funny.
  
  And Buddhist don't chant 'Buddha' to get their skin saved. Buddhism is a non-theistic religion - Buddha is not their God please -.-

  Joke also must be sensitive towards others.
  
  If there is a joke about a physically or mentally challenged kid in school, you'll not find it funny too.
  
  Same thing here.

  i embrace neither of the religions and i found nothing remotely funny...this is nothing more then fairy tale of sorts...i was waiting for the punchline but it never came.....would it be any funnier if the monk and shouted 'jesus, jesus, jesus?'....or 'allah, allah, allah?'...i do not think so....

  she oso say ismal and christian is almost the same..

  that's because both religion were invented around the same time in the area of Jerusalem and the middle east.

  Two groups might knock on your door in the middle of the night.
  
  1. ISD, detaining you indefinitely under Sedition Act.
  
  2. Al Qaeda.
  
  Personally, I'd start chanting "ISD, ISD, ISD" right now if I were you.
