A priest, a minister and a rabbi had regular theological discussions at the rabbi's house. One day, they got into a spirited argument about conversion. So, the priest issued a challenge: "Let's all try to convert a bear. We'll meet here in three weeks to report how it went."
In due course, they got together at the rabbi's house. The priest sported a broken arm and the others asked what happened. He replied, "I found a bear and wrestled with him briefly until I had a chance to pour holy water on him. Consequently, he accepted Jesus as his savior."
The minister had two broken arms and said, "I came across a bear and we wrestled up and down a hill until I dunked him in a stream. He then accepted Jesus as his savior."
The rabbi was in the worst shape of all. He had two broken arms and two broken legs, not to mention fractured ribs. He said, "I wasn't as successful as the two of you. In retrospect, it might not have been best to start with circumcision..."
