    I said

    Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”

    He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”

    He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”

    Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over

    Fun fact, putting people in boxes is a horrible way to treat people, is dehumanizing, and doesn’t get an accurate look at individuals and their motives.

    Fun fact, putting people in boxes is what companies and governments do in order to organize their marketing efforts to try and sell to specific demographics or to get elected.

    Heaven is a peanut farm

    One for you and me

    With friends and music, banquets and balls

    And a good man named Jimmy

    .

    Heaven is a peanut farm

    Surely it’s the best

    There’s a porch with a sleeping dog

    One where you can find rest

    .

    They say there is a man out there

    Who made sure every heart he would fill

    When God said “it’s okay, you can stop your work now”

    He said “no, I don’t think I will”

    .

    When you come to this peanut farm

    You will be filled with this delight

    Friends and family, we gather 'round

    To wish Mr. Carter goodnight
