Religious Differences
So, Alicia is reading our Ethics homework, which is currently world religions, and looking at Islam. When Mohammed went to Heaven, God told him that the people were to pray 50 times a day. On his way back to Earth, Mohammed stopped by and talked to Moses. He said, how about this?
Moses said, "What? You've got to be kidding. I know these people. They'll never do it. Go back and get the number reduced." So Mohammed went back, and the number was reduced to 40. This happened several more times, until God said 5 times a day, and Moses still wasn't happy, but Mohammed refused to go back again and shame himself once more before God, etc etc.
Alicia and I immediately knew: Moses was a Jew. Maybe THE Jew. So now we're picturing two Jewish rabbis, one of them Moses and the other one God, haggling over number of prayers a day. "This believe stuff, Moses, it's good stuff, you gotta give me what it's worth!" "Thirty prayers a day, you're killing me here!"
We're laughing and Alicia says, "Jesus."
I tell her, "No, he wasn't involved in the haggling."
We figure, Jesus was the advertising man.
