Young gal comes home to parents and announces that she's fallen in love with a very religious young man who's enrolled in a theological seminary, studying to be a clergyman and religious scholar. Her father's dubious, and wants to meet with the religious student before consenting to giving him his daughter's hand in marriage. So, daughter arranges for the pious lad to meet with her father at their home.
Father says to young man: "How are you going to support my daughter?" Lad replies, "God will provide, God will provide..."

Father: "How will you put a roof over your heads, clothing on your backs, food on your table?" Lad: "God will provide, God will provide..."

Father: "And when children come into your lives, how will you provide for their needs?" Lad: "God will provide, God will provide..."

This goes on for over an hour--same type questions, same answer.

After the lad leaves, mother asks father how it went. "Well, it was the old bad news/good news routine," says Pop. "The bad news is that this kid hasn't got a clue about anything."

"And the good news?" asks Mom.

"The good news," replies Pop, "is that he thinks I'm God."
