{ed I swore no more of these, but this one is by an expert, it claims.}
 
I sent the "Shit Happens in Various Religions" to my friend John Stark,
who happens to have a PhD in Religious Studies.  A week later he sent
me his revised version, which is pretty serious, which is pretty funny.
 
TAOISM: Shit Happens, so flow with it.
 
CONFUCIANISM: Confucius says, "If shit has to happen, let it happen _properly_.
 
BUDDHISM: If shit happens, it isn't really happening _to_ anyone.
 
HINDUISM: This shit happening _is_ you.
 
PROTESTANTISM: If shit happens, praise the Lord for it!
 
JUDAISM: Why does shit always happen just before closing the deal?
 
ISLAM: Shit happining is Allah's Will.
 
EXISTENTIALISM: Shit happening is absurd!
 
ZEN: What is the sound of shit happening?
