Last night at fife and drum rehearsal, I was chatting with one of the drummers, and he suddenly changed the topic. "Tomorrow at school we're starting to learn about Jesus." Naturally I was intrigued, and he continued, "I'm Jewish, you know?"
"Is this a Jewish school?"
"No, it's a private school but it's for everyone. My teacher told us today that tomorrow we're starting to talk about Jesus, and this Hindu kid raised his hand and he was like, 'Who's Jesus?' And there was this atheist that said that Jesus wasn't real, and someone else said 'No, it's God that's not real.' And my friend started crying..."
"You know, someone is going to be offended by this class."
"Yeah, probably." he said nonchalantly.
I was not a happy camper.
