Some may say that these lines are divisive.
But, the body of Christ has great diversity and I think that we should all be able
to laugh at ourselves.

- Only one, since his/her hands are in the air anyway.
- How many Calvinists does it take to change a light bulb?
- None. God has predestined when the lights will be on.
or
Calvinists do not change light bulbs. They simply read out the
instructions and pray [that] the light bulb will decide to
change itself.
- How many Baptists does it take to change a light bulb?
- CHANGE?????????

darkness.

- Ten. One to change the light bulb and nine to pray against
the spirit of darkness.

to change a light bulb?

- At least ten, as they need to hold a debate on whether or not the
light bulb exists. Even if they can agree upon the existence of the light
bulb, they still may not change it to keep from alienating those who
might use other forms of light.

bulb?
- None. They always use candles.

bulb?
