Satan in church

[Big N' Blue]

A few minutes before church services started, the congregation was sitting in their pews and talking.



Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.



Soon, the church was empty except for one elderly cowboy, who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.



So Satan walked up to the man and said, "Do you know who I am?"



The old cowboy replied, "Yep, sure do."



"Aren't you afraid of me?" Satan asked.



"Nope, sure ain't." said the cowboy.



"Don't you realize that I can kill you with one word?" asked Satan.



"I Don't doubt that for a minute," returned the old man in an even tone.



"Did you know that I can cause you profound, horrifying agony for all eternity?" persisted Satan.



"Yep," was the calm reply.



"And you're still not afraid?" asked Satan.



"Nope," said the old cowboy.



More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, "Why aren't you afraid of me?"



The old cowboy calmly replied, "Been married to your sister for 48 years."
