Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

Hmmm..... it's about this time that someone starts to point out that the reason doctors did that is because they were all Jews anyway.

Did you hear about the rabbi who didn't charge for circumcisions?

He only took tips.
