Jesus
The more I come across these weird fanatics, the more I think I should invest in.... an iPod.
I am sitting in the sauna, you know those ten minutes of peace after an hour of exercise, when this guy sits next to me.
He: Are you from India?
Me: (nods yes)
He: Can I tell you about Jesus?
Me: No, thank you. I know about Jesus.
He: Do you know Jesus bleeds for us?
And then he keeps going on and on about Jesus.
Now I am fine with all this. Sitting through four years of engineering has taught me how to stare into open space and completely shut off from the world (world = professor lecturing on electromagnetic force). And while Mr. Preacher goes on and on, I am slipping into blank mode where I even refuse to acknowledge him.
This, till he out of nowhere goes, "The Muslims, they have got it all wrong. Islam is..."
Before he can go on, I give him the thousand yard angry look and say, "I am Muslim", and look away.
What follows is silence for a few seconds. Then he says, "Even the Hindus, they have got it all wrong. They worship too many Gods"
I inwardly smile and seriously contemplate between a $200 iPod and a $250 hand gun.

Get the Shuffle if you are planning on using it for gym... it cheap and it Clips anywhere you want!
& Next time tell him you are Jew :D
hehe.... And then let us know what happens to you :D
Everyone's got it all wrong.
Religions have outlasted their usefulness.
Instead of 'I am Muslim'; you could have tried, 'I am Jesus'. I wonder what reaction that would have evoked!
Religion has been messed up BIG time!!
btw...u shld really try Brad's suggestion next time :)

#Bird: Very true. I agree with you my friend.
#Brad: LOL! Damn! Why didnt I think of that one!
#Illusion: Yeah! Hopefully I wont come across any more psychos that I'll have to try out Brads suggestion. But if I do, I sure will :)
#Sonia: Yeah, that would be like creating conversation with him and he would keep jumping one religion to the other. I still prefer the gun :D

PS: If you had an ipod, you could have just switched it on and never needed to contemplate buying a handgun.
