    Default Why God Never Received Tenure at a University

    Don't know if you guys heard it, but here it is:


    1) Because he had only one major publication.
    2) And it was in Hebrew.
    3) And it had no cited references.
    4) And it wasn't published in a refereed journal or even submitted for peer review.
    5) And some even doubt he wrote it himself.
    6) It may be true that he created the world but what has he done since?
    7) The scientific community has had a very rough time trying to replicate his results.
    8) He rarely came to class, just told students to read the book.
    9) He expelled his first two students for learning.
    10) Although there were only ten requirements, most students failed his tests.
    11) His office hours were infrequent and usually held on a mountain top.

    I personally love the third, seventh and eleventh the most. lol

    EDIT:

    Apperantly there is a longer version with 50 reasons why he didn't get tenure.
    Here they are:

    Hey everybody,
    Let's see how low a thread can get and cheer it on! YAYYYYY....
    This is THE most childish and ridiculous post AND thread I've ever seen.

    A human being, more than likely and atheist, trying to box in God!
    As if God needs YOUR university.

    No other comment is necessary.

    The usual defensive talk of those who don't really believe what they espouse.
    'When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing — they believe in anything. '

    -Emile Cammaerts' book The Laughing Prophets (1937)

    Under the patronage of Nihil. So there.

    Talk about having no sense of humour.

    Ultra defensive or what? Chill out - I've spotted several other 'believers' in this thread admitting they found it funny.

    Are you incapable of laughing at yourself or your religion?

    God also burned the gays out of S and G, which is not college professory at all.

    I really don't understand why people are getting so angry about this. It's not even saying whether or not He exists, it's just joking around about how if God tried to apply to a University to teach, He'd be rejected under those facetious terms.

    Chill, people, jeez.
