Jesus Doesn't Love Everyone

A burglar got into a house one night. Shining his flashlight on the floor in the dark, he heard a voice saying, ``Jesus is watching you''

He looked around nervously, shook his head, and kept looking for valuables He again heard, ``Jesus is watching you.''

This time, he shone his light all over, and it rested on a parrot. He asked, ``Did you say that?''

The parrot admitted that he had. ``I'm just trying to warn you, is all''

The burglar said, ``Warn me, huh? Who are you? What's your name?''

``Moses.''

``Well, what kind of stupid people would name a parrot 'Moses'?'' The bird answered, ``I don't know; I guess the same folks who would name a Rottweiler 'Jesus'''
