It was in the context of relativism in ethics but it fits in here quite nicely too I think:


A high-powered ethics institute presented a panel of representatives from the great religions.

First the Buddhist spoke of the ways to achieve calm, the mastery of desire, the path of enlightenment. The panellists all said "Wow, terrific, if that works for you that's great."

Then the Hindu talked about the cycles of suffering and birth and rebirth, the teachings of Krishna and the way to release. They all said "Wow, terrific, if that works for you that's great."

And so on, until the Catholic priest spoke of the message of Jesus Christ, the promise of salvation and the way to life eternal, and they all said "Wow, terrific, if that works for you that's great." But at that, he thumped the table and shouted: "No! It's not a question of it if works for me! It's the true word of the living God, and if you don't believe it you're all damned to Hell!"

And they all said: "Wow, terrific, if that works for you that's great."
