A poignant and not very funny philosophical joke.
An Imam, a Rabbi and an Ethiopian child pass away and find themselves in front of God.
They stands there in awe. The Imam reluctantly speaks first.
Great God, I humbly stand before you as no-one in your presence.
The Rabbi then speaks:
Oh Great one, I too stand before you as no-one in your presence.
The young child says:
I was born a nobody, lived a short life and died a nobody. God, I have nothing to offer you.
The Imam looks at the Rabbi and mumbles: Who in the hell does that kid think he is upstaging us like that!

No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
Know God, Know fear.
