: Hmm, I wonder about this.

A Jewish man goes to his mate, and says "My son has just come back
from Uni, and now he says he has become a Christian... What should I do?"

His mate says "It's incredible - I just got a letter from my son,
and he has become a Christian too!"

Thoroughly worried, the Jewish men go to the rabbi and say
"I have the worst news Rabbi, my son went away, and now that he has come
back to see me - he has become a Christian!"

The Rabbi responded "It's true? I must tell you - I sent my
son away to study, and now he has come back - HE now tells me that he has
become a Christian.."

Not knowing what next to do, the Rabbi says he will take their
concerns to God.

The Rabbi goes into the temple to pray...

"Lord, what should we do. Our son's have been away from us, and
when they come back  - they have become Christians..."

A gentle voice comes back to them...

"Well, it's funny you should mention that...."
