ME: He is 2, you're 4 and we're on 6.
WOMAN: 2 4 6 8, who do you appreciate?
Jesus, Jesus. We love you.
ME: Jesus does not rhyme with you.
WOMAN: Everything rhymes with Jesus. (with conviction)
ME: "You" obviously does not rhyme with "Jesus".
We need to find another word that rhymes with Jesus.
WOMAN: I don't care if you find a word that rhymes with Jesus. (angrily)
The is the kind of unreasonable, unyielding and blind Christian fanaticism that gives Christianity a bad name. How can she be upset that it was pointed out that the name Jesus does not rhyme with the word you. It just don't. And it is not a reflection on Jesus or Christianity itself. The two words just do not rhyme. Period. This is the same kind of religious fanaticism that led millions to kill in the name of their God. Fanaticism that fails to see reason and flaw in their actions. Think of Jihad. Think of the crusade in the middle ages. Ugh!
