This may not be so funny to Christians, but I hope you can turn the other cheek. I can and would do this with any religious work, so just switch "Bible" for "Qoran" where you see it.

That having been said, I think it's absolutely hilarious to pretend to quote verses of the Bible and, instead, quote information from cereal boxes. I've been doing it in chat for a day or so now, and I actually responded to a serious post with some of my favorite Bible verses (because I'm just plain silly.) Quotes like Exodus, chapter 7, verses 8-9:
Try it the next time you're at a loss for something to say. The Bible can be a great source of pithy and situation-appropriate responses!

hmmm, maybe you would have a little more luck if you chose phrases that sound like bible passages.

HEH. I can see the humor. It'd have to be one EXTREMELY test Christian to be insulted by that, though.

I will say this for everyone....

WTF?

*sigh* Okay. Here's the "joke" of it, but it won't be as funny after I explain it:

Your reaction.

See? It's hilarious to call on the name of something that so many people know and respect, and then quote something as inane as the packaging information from a box of cereal. It catches people so off-guard that they often just sit there, stunned.

How often do you get to do that? How often do you see the face of total confusion? Lemme tell ya, folks, it's pretty funny-lookin'.

Try it if you'd like. Ignore it if it doesn't suit. Just don't ask me to dissect the punchline of any more jokes; it ruins the fun.
