"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali

It is my firm belief that all Faiths are equally sacred, profound and ridiculous at the same time. All are both true and false as the others. I respect everyone's beliefs and do agree with Carlos that if someone were to make fun of other religions on this board as they do the Christian Faith, they would be attacked.

Jews incorporate irony and humor into their attitudes about everything, even solemn holidays, (Not into prayers or the way the holiday is observed, but into the attitude.)
So here is my favorite Yom Kippur joke--which also happens to be a Lent joke:
===
Rabbi Moishe Ben Pupik was attempting to explain the significance of the solemn Day of Atonement to Father Francesco, who was attempting to explain the signicance of Lent.
"It's a day of fasting, penitence and self-denial," Rabbi ben Pupik said, "at the end of which we attain absolution from sins."
Father Francesco was silent for a moment, deep in thought, and then said, "Ah, yes, I see. I see. Very much like our Lent, only we spend forty days in fasting and self-denial, and at the end of forty days of doing penitence, we attain a similar absolution from sin."
Rabbi Moishe ben Pupik was surprised. "Forty days?" he asked. "Forty days of Lent Yet only one day of Yom Kippur? I guess even when it comes to sin, you goyyim pay retail."
I remember Bill Hicks had a routine about the death penalty, in which he noted the irony of Christians protesting capital punishment. Because, hey, without the death penalty, there'd be no Easter. And that's a ham dinner where I come from.
