Four clergymen in New Hampshire were sitting at a bar arguing over whose religion was most closely aligned with God's will. The discussion got heated until the wise bartender suggested using one of God's cr
eations as a test. The four clergymen, following the bartender's advice, went into the woods and found a papa bear. Each clergyman was to perform a spiritual practice from their religion with the bear. The clergyman with the most favorable results would be the winner.
The bartender was amused as each clergyman re-entered his bar to share the results. Each clergyman gave his report. The catholic priest had a smile on his face as he reported his attempt to serve communion to the bear. After the bear had consumed the wine and bread he held two paws up to heaven. The Lutheran minister also seemed pleased with his results. He read some portions from the New Testament book of Romans to the bear and he had raised one paw upwards to heaven.
The Baptist minister had a serious look on his face and a black eye. He reported that the bear had not respond favorably to a full immersion baptism. The Jewish rabbi was barely alive. His clothes were shredded and his body was covered with bite marks, scratches, and blood. By this time the bartender was overflowing with curiosity. He queried the rabbi on his attempt. 'Which Jewish rite did you attempt, Rabbi?' he asked. The rabbi answered solemnly, 'circumcision'.
