The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

And this does really make me chuckle:

A scientist called God and told him ‘God, we humans don’t need you anymore. We have got everything we need, and we can do everything we need to. We can even make humans now, so we really don’t need you.’

God replied ‘Is that so? Oh my. Well, tell you what, let’s have a competition. Let’s see who can make a human the fastest. If I win then you’re stuck with me. But if you win then, well, you’re free to go without me.’

So the scientist thought whoopee I’m on to a winner here, and he gladly accepted God’s offer. He went off to his lab, popped his white coat on and picked up his stethoscope and his microscope and all his other equipment, and then said to God, ‘Ok, I’m ready’.

And God said, ‘You know what, why don’t I even give you a head start. Take ten minutes extra, go on, you get started. I’m interested to see how you create this human.’

So the scientist shuffled his papers and got busy. He leaned down, and picked up a handful of dust.

‘Whoa, whoa, whoa!’ God said. ‘What are you doing? You get your own dust.”
