Alleluia!
A newly converted Christian was very interestedly reading the Bible while waiting for transportation and every now and then would exclaim, "Alleluia, Praise the Lord, Amen" and on and on as he read on.
A skeptic heard him and came and asked what he was reading. He answered "I'm reading how God parted the Red Sea and let the Israelites go through - that is a miracle!"
The skeptic explained "Do not believe everything the Bible tells you. The truth of the matter is that that body of water was really only 6 inches deep - so it was not miracle."
The young Christian nodded in disappointment but kept on reading as the skeptic was walking away feeling proud that he had set the hippie straight.
All of a sudden the skeptic heard the hippie let out a big "Alleluia, PTL".
At this the skeptic came back to him and asked, "What is it this time?"
The Christian said excitedly in one breath, "This one is a real miracle, God drowned the whole Egyptian army in 6 inches of water!!!"
