Young woman falls in love with a young, fundamentalist man who spends all his time reading the Bible and is scraping by to go to divinity school. He wants the gal's father's permission to marry his daughter. So he comes over one night, and has a heart-to-heart talk with his prospective father in law:
"How do you intend to put a roof over my daughter's head?" asks Dad. "God will provide," replies the young man.
"And when children come along, how will you provide for them?" asks Dad. "God will provide," the young man replies.
"What about sickness? Can you afford to pay doctor and hospital bills," Dad persists. "God will provide," the young man says again.

After about an hour of this, the young man leaves. Mom asks Dad how it went. "Well, it's the old bad news/good news routine," Dad answers. The bad news is that the kid doesn't have a penny, or a clue."
"And the good news?" Mom asks.
"The good news is that he thinks I'm God."
