Signs of a new reformation.

Posted this yesterday:

Friend and I were at grocery store Friday evening. He chatted with 2 customers while I was checking out.
The customers were a senior mother with her middle age daughter. As we start to leave the mother asks, 'Do you accept Jesus?' I could have lived without that, but as my friend is a talkative type, I didn't want to cut off the conversation in a manner to be perceived as rude, so I said, 'My family is Jewish,' and my friend said, 'I am Muslim,' as he is. He and I then did a little riff on history of religions: Friend said, of me and my family, that we were 'the original religion of Jesus Christ,' and went on to say that Islam followed Christianity; I added, 'every few thousand years, we come up with another religion,' or some such.

Time marches on.
