Three-way

November 20, 2012

in Posts that will get me hate mail,Random crap

Conversation I had with Victor on the way home:

me:  Yeah.  Because there’s nothing more helpful than God in a three-way.

Victor:  WHAT?

me:  That church sign we just drove past.  It encouraged people to pull God in on a three-way when they’re in trouble.

Victor:  I’m almost positive it didn’t say that.

me:   Well, it implied it.  It said: “WHEN TROUBLE CALLS, CALL ON GOD.”  And you can’t call God while you’re still on the phone with trouble…unless you call him on a three-way.  Or unless you’re at work and you schedule a conference call.  Or if use Skype or something.

Victor:  I’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to take those signs quite that literally.

me: Of course not.  Because God isn’t in the phone book.  The three-way is implied.  Or…hypothetical.  They should have just written “Have an imaginary three-way with God.”

Victor:  No one should ever write that.

me: Oh, because people get upset if you say “imaginary” and “God” in the same sentence?  So instead you’d have to say “Have faith in three-ways with God.”

Victor:  No.  Because you’re not supposed to say “three-ways” and “God” in the same sentence.  We’re going to hell just for having this conversation.

me:  If God wasn’t unlisted I’d call Him and explain that I’m referring to conference calls.

Victor:  I’m sure He’s eavesdropping.  You’re probably fine.

me:  ”Have faith that God is okay with you talking about three-ways.”  That’s what my church sign would say.

Victor:  I’d probably go to that church.

me:  Who wouldn’t?

God was eavesdropping, he says you are fine but only because he has not laughed that hard in a long time.

PS he said St. Peter still hasn’t stopped snorting.

I’m sorry to inform you, Jenny, but God’s number is listed – it’s just hidden from you. He says you’re too damn hilarious – I mean blasphemous – to have his direct line. It’s time you knew the truth.

6 Jeneral Insanity November 20, 2012 at 12:28 pm

Using three-way calling for that is only common sense, right?

Besides – wouldn’t God be too busy to take a phone call just because trouble called you again? How often does trouble call you? It calls me a few times a day. I’m pretty sure that IF God answered the phone, he’d probably just suggest that I get a new number or a restraining order against trouble. Maybe just don’t answer. Them he would tell me that he doesn’t have time for my shit and if I don’t stop wasting his time, he’ll just take the rest of mine.
Way to be an asshole, God…

I really don’t think God is that judgemental at attempts at humor. If he is…I’ll be keeping you company in hell. Promise.

8 Melanie November 20, 2012 at 12:33 pm

Oh wait – this just in. . . hold on I’m getting a fuzzy communication from God here. . . lemme just adjust the antenna . . . got it. God says that he’s not real, and that if you want help with trouble you should look within to the god inside of you, and then look around to the god inside everyone. Which is both comforting and oxymoronic at the same time. Good luck with that.

I think when you try to call God for help you never actually get Him. It’s like when you call AT&T, you never get the CEO, you get some woman in The Philippines. So I think when you call God you get a three-way with some woman from The Philippines which may be OK depending on your mood.

An update on my last comment:

My husband finally responded. He said, “What do a woman’s orgasm and God have in common?” (I edited out all the misspelled words and horrible sentence structure because I don’t want him to be “that guy” on the internet)

Expecting something hillarious or perverted, I was thrilled and said, “Everything?” Then it took him 9 minutes to respond, so I was thrilled with anticipation.

He finally said, “They’re both a mystery to men and we’ll spend our lifetime trying to figure it out.”

AN.TI.CLIMACTIC. Accurate, but unfunny.

When my husband and I got married, we were told in our ceremony, to have a threesome with Jesus. The words our pastor used were, “This marriage is a twosome.

A lot of my Christian friends love to talk about how God has to be present in a marriage in order for it to work. (I don’t agree, I think atheists can have great marriages, but I digress.) Anyway, I thought that’s what this post was going to be about. Having a marital three-way with God. But this is funny, too. I miss three-way phone calls…

Jenny, if you ever open a church, I want to be a congregant. Having read the bible cover to cover, and skimmed the book of Mormon, the Koran and several other religious texts, I can guarantee whatever you came up with would be no crazier than any other religion, but a hell of a lot more entertaining.

Well, except for that Flying Spaghetti Monster thing. It’s hard to top an afterlife with beer volcanoes. You could give the FSM a run for his money thought.

117 Betts November 20, 2012 at 4:18 pm

I think god’s pretty much cool with three-ways. I’ve been to several church weddings in the UK recently and the celebrant (vicar/priest/whatever) has made a big deal about how marriage is between one man, one woman and the one true god.

Having been raised as a churchless atheist, I had to ask my partner if this three-way thing was standard for church weddings. Turns out it is! Who knew? Turns out this isn’t a question you should ask a nice Methodist boy while he’s drinking milk. Who knew?!

At a recent wedding, the vicar had a giant Toblerone (the two foot long kind which weigh about a kilo) as a prop to help illustrate this point because Toblerones are triangular and thus a very good metaphor for a three-way. (They also have milk chocolate binding the nuts and nougat pieces, but he didn’t really get into that aspect of marriage.) The congregation got a little restive when we realised that the box was empty, and he wasn’t actually going to give the happy couple a kilo of Swiss chocolate but there were actual gasps, squeaks and a cry of ‘for shame’ when he didn’t even give them a fun size one. How are you supposed to remember where god goes if you don’t get to take the symbolic chocolate triangle home?

Pretty sure our church (Unitarian) could have that on a sign. Except Unitarian churches don’t have signs.

I’m reminded of the something*positive strip from years back, where Davan answered the front door to find missionaries. Not amused, he decided that their interrupting his morning meant he didn’t need to stop masturbating while inviting them to leave.

As for God, I’m pretty sure he’s unshockable. I mean, considering that he’s witnessed every sexual act that ever took place, and knows every fantasy that anyone ever had, without losing his essential nature and perfection.

So maybe the sign you really want to put up is, “PORN: It never did GOD any harm.”

This brings me back to my Catholic School days. Which were always interesting considering I was the only Jew there. But yes, three-ways, God, conference calls…I love it. Especially because I always refer to my talks with God as phone calls, and by that I mean that I put him on speakerphone and talk to him while I do my laundry and file my nails. I mean, he’s hip. I’m sure he has at least some sort of tele-conferencing ability, or at least something not unlike Google friend time, or is it face time? You know what I mean.
