21. Choose transformation, not conversion
A Jewish man lives in a Catholic neighborhood. Every Friday, the Catholics are driven crazy, because while they are eating fish, the Jew is outside barbecuing delicious steak, which they cannot eat.
So the Catholics decide to work on the Jew to convert him to Catholicism. Finally, after many threats and much pleading, the Catholics succeed. They take the Jew to a priest, who sprinkles holy water on him and says, 'Born a Jew, raised a Jew, now a Catholic! The Catholics are ecstatic! No more delicious but maddening smells every Friday evening!'
But the next Friday evening, the smell of barbecue wafts through the neighborhood. The
Catholics all rush to the Jew's house to remind him of his new dict. They see him standing over a fire, cooking steak. He is sprinkling water on the meat and saying, 'Born a cow. raised a cow, now a fish!'
Conversion is one of the worst kinds of foolishness! The intelligent thing to work for is the transformation of the other, not their conversion. Always support transformation, never conversion.
