A Catholic priest, a Protestant Minster, and a Jewish Rabbi entered into a contest of conversionary power. Each was to go into the woods and attempt to convert a grizzly bear into their faith.
The priest went first and entered the woods. He showed up later at the local hospital mauled and with a broken clavicle. He told the minister and the rabbi that the bear became enraged when he sprinkled him with holy water. He wrestled with and was mauled by the bear for quite a while before his prayers of absolution began to work. Then the bear became as gentle as a lamb, and a true Christian.
The minister went next. He also showed up later at the local hospital in much worse shape than the priest. A battery of machines attended to his wounds. He described the terrible attack of the bear when he attempted to dunk him in the water in baptism. He thought he was going to die, but after the baptism the bear became docile and converted to the faith.
The rabbi went last and a couple hours later he also showed up at the hospital. He was the worst of the three, mauled terribly and attended to by many doctors. To the other two he said, “O.K. Maybe trying to circumcise the bear was not the best idea in town.”
