The Four Great Religious Truths

In these trying times, it's important to remember the four great religious truths in the world:

1. Muslims don't recognize Jews as god's chosen people.

2. Jews don't recognize Christ as the messiah.

3. Protestants don't recognize the pope as the leader of the Christian world.

4. Baptists don't recognize each other at either Hooters or the liquor store.

Although I have no children of my own, my cousins have their own children…
