Daily Joke: All Heads of Government and Religious Leaders Gathered for Alien Visit
Aliens finally made the long trip and visited Earth. They were peaceful, and surprisingly, the aliens spoke English. The aliens were excited to speak to the humans and share one another's experiences.
In reaction, all of the heads of government and religious leaders wanted to speak to the aliens. First, each country proposed a question, and then it was the religious leaders' turn to ask.
Each leader had their turn to ask the aliens their questions. When it was the Pope's turn, he asked, "So, do you know about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?"
The alien responded, "Oh, you mean JC? Yeah! We know him. He is the best. He visits every year to make sure we are all doing okay. He also shares his great wisdom with us.
The Pope was very surprised and said, "What? He visits you every year? It has been over two millennia since he first visited us, and we are still waiting for his SECOND coming!"
The alien noticed that the Pope was irritated, so he tried to rationalize the situation. The alien thought for a second and said, "Hmmm, well, maybe he likes our chocolate better than yours?"
The Pope responded, "Chocolates? What do you mean? What do chocolates have to do with anything?"
'Well," said the alien, "when he first visited our planet, we gave him a huge box of chocolates, and he comes back each year for more. Why? What did you guys do?"

I think you proved Twain's point. There are millions of One True Gods available to pick.

I think it is partly about those who pray for personal gain instead of for help to people in need of basics. . . nt
