There's this guy who believes he's a good Catholic. He goes to Church every Sunday. Avoids sinning as much as possible and when he does sin he goes to confession. He reads his bible reguarly and prays every night before he goes to bed.

Every night after his evening prayer he asks "God, I'm a good Catholic and a true believer. I always do my best to uphold the word of the Lord, and teach others about the teaching of Jesus. So, please Lord, just once, let me win the lottery"

The man does this for 20 years and then, finally, one day he says "God, every night I ask the same thing, just one wish I have, to win the lottery. Despite all the good work I've done in your name it's never happened. I no longer believe you exist, for if you did, surely you would have answered my prayer by now. I'll no longer go to Church and no longer worship you. From now on I'm an athiest"

Suddenly there's a deafening clap of thunder, the clouds part and a ray of sun beams down on the mans face, and a deep booming voice says "GO BUY A FUCKING TICKET YOU MORON!"

Just a joke but relevant to the thread
