This will be a place to collect actual & potential pranks that have, can, or should be played on Churches and Christians. Anything that helps take the wind out of their pompous sails benefits the rest of mankind. For example, I've always said the best way to counter Mormon door-to-door evangelism is to educate the populace about the magic long underwear that all Mormon missionaries wear under their white shirt and dark pants, so that whenever a Joe Sixpack opens the door and sees two Mormon missionaries, he can't listen to them because he stop laughing because all he's seeing in his mind are two adults running around in magic underwear trying to act all serious.
So feel free to send your ideas or experiences in. If you're not comfortable with your name and email address being attached to what gets posted here, let me know. Let's make this site on Pranks grow, and increase the amusement of mankind.
Fun With Poop & Christian Science Reading Rooms
I had passed by the Christian Science Reading Room many times in
Ypsilanti but had never gone in. So I suggested that we go inside and
scope it out to see what opportunities for mischief it might present. We
took a cover to "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex"
with us. An old woman, in her seventies (gray hair, glasses, a dowdy old
bluish gray dress that came down the her ankles) sat alone behind a
desk, directly to one's right as one entered the door. To the rear of
the room was a closed doorway, about four of my steps away. We spoke to
the old woman and asked if we could go into the reading room. She told
us yes, so we did and shut the door. Once inside (and we had your
cassette recorder going) we looked at some volumes and decided to place
the cover over one of their religious books.
As we left, somewhat disappointed at what little mischief we had perpetrated, I grabbed a booklet from the outside literature rack. We took it back to the apartment where my friend went into the bathroom alone and defecated onto it. He placed it in a plastic bag and we drove back to the reading room. He took the booklet out of the bag and sat it back on the rack. The old woman could see us, but not what we were doing. I smiled and waved and she smiled and waved. The booklet was wide open, shit showing. We then went back to his car, about half a block away, and sat inside waiting to see if anything happened. A few minutes later an old man in dark unremarkable clothing, walking a black Labrador, came along. The dog's nose immediately went for the shit on the booklet, jerking the old man to his left, our right. He popped his head into the Christian Science reading room door and then jerked his dog away and continued to walk in our direction. The old woman walked out, looked at the literature rack, looked angry and disgusted, and picked up the poopy booklet and went inside. The old man with the labby walked past us, and we were laughing. My friend started the car and off we drove. I don't think we had the recorder going during this part, which is too bad because it was way better than putting a sex cover onto a religious book. ---MM & MS early 1980's
Telephones & The Dimwitted Church of Christ
As we were
bring escorted out of a C of C by the "deacons" I grabbed a leaflet that
explained about the C of C and had a list of the names of all eight of the
elders. The very next Sunday I took that leaflet and called the C of C. Someone
answered the phone and I asked, starting at the top of the list of eight elders,
Pornographic Profanity Blaring During Church Service
Recently, I read about a Santa Fe, NM. cathedral’s Ash Wednesday mass being disrupted, mid-way by loudly blaring sexually explicit profanity coming from CD players surreptiously hidden under the pews. Horrified parishioners evacuated and in came the over-reactive police sent in the bomb squad. Hilarity. By far, it is the coolest idea of the week. Why don’t more people do this?
The fact that police feel the need to detonate everything is a bit absurd and
considering the cost of doing this, really questionable. Those assholes just
can’t take a joke, I guess. ---Feb 2007 at Ash Wednesday services at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi http://davebgimp.com/tag/prank
