Alright this corny thread made search google for more of these Bible jokes. Here is one with some Calvinistic truth to it.

Why couldn't Cain please God with his offering?


He just wasn't Abel.

I saw a church sign in Maine to which someone added one printed letter, "FREEWILLY BAPTIST CHURCH."

I think we're geting off topic.

The thing I've learned from some of my wife's corny songs she learned as a kid, I'll sometimes say:

Why were they called Pharisees?

Because they're not fair, you see...

Why were they called Saducees?

Because they were sad, you see...
