A drunk, who smelled of beer sat down, on a subway seat next to a
priest. The man's tie was stained, his face was plastered with red
lipstick and a half empty bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn
coat pocket.
He opened his newspaper and began reading. After a few minutes the man
turned to the priest and asked, "Tell me, Father, what causes
arthritis?"
The priest replied, "My Son, it is caused by loose living, being with
cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol and a contempt for your fellow
man, sleeping around with prostitutes and a lack of personal hygiene."
The drunk muttered in response, "Well, I'll be darned," and returned
to his paper.
The priest, thinking about what he had said, put his hand gently on
the man's arm and apologized. "I'm sorry. I should not have come on so
strong. How long have you had arthritis?"
"I don't have arthritis, Father," the drunk replied. "I was just
reading here that the Pope does!!!"

The whole foundation of Christianity is based on the idea that
intellectualism is the work of the Devil. Remember the apple on the tree?
Okay, it was the Tree of Knowledge. "You eat this apple, you're going to
be as smart as God. We can't have that."
