Stuff Happens

Stuff happens.

What do the world’s religions have to say about this vexing existential problem?


Taoism: Stuff happens. Who gives a stuff?

Hinduism: This stuff has happened before and will happen again.

Buddhism: The stuff that happens doesn’t really.

Zen: What is the sound of stuff happening?

Islam: The stuff that will happen will happen.
Judaism: Lord, why is this stuff happening to me?

Evangelicalism: Jesus, we praise you, we bless you, and we just really wanna ask "why this stuff isn’t happening to someone else"?

Catholicism: Stuff happens because you deserve it.

Open Theism: Stuff happens to God too.

Pentecostalism: Tuffs appensh.

High Church Anglicans: Verily, verily, stuff happeneth.

Atheism: Stuff happens. Then you die. No more stuff.

Rastafarianism: Let’s smoke the stuff.
Hare Krishna: "Stuff" happens! "Stuff" happens! "Stuff" happens! "Stuff" happens! . .

Jehovah's Witnesses: Let us in and we'll tell you why stuff happens.
Quakers: Quietly praise God for the blessings that stuff brings.

Calvinists: Stuff won't happen to you if you work hard enough.

Christian Scientists: Agree that there is no stuff.

Televangelists: Stuff won't happen to you if you send in your love offering.


Any that were missed?


HT to Monastic Mumblings for this hilarious bit of... stuff.

Southern Baptist - Stuff happens, now pass the grits.
Coptics - Stuff happens, but only if it would happen again.
Zoroastrians- stuff happens, hide it- quick.
Mormons- stuff happens- let's send it to Utah and see if it really did - then, we'll send it on a mission.
Jesuits - stuff happens and then you have to punish those that claim they saw it.

Thanks for sharing.

Agnostic - I'll take that stuff, and that stuff, but you can keep that stuff over there.

(A lame attempt but a try at least)

Baptist - We'll dunk you in water and wash that stuff away.

Mormon - Our stuff's a secret, like our underwear.

Materialism -- He who dies with the most stuff wins (Okay, LAME, but it WAS missing.)

Gnostic -- Stuff is evil.

Alternative Calvinist -- Some stuff is pre elected, other stuff isn't.

Fundamentalist -- Burn that stuff! Seperate yourself from the stuff!

Amish -- Stuff? What's Stuff?

So goes my lame attempt at humor. *sigh*

Okay, slightly off topic, but do you guys know what the Zen Master said to the hot dog vendor?

"Make me one with everything."

Ha ha ha haaaa!
