A teacher is teaching a class of around thirty children, and during their Religious Education lesson she says "Right, you've heard me teaching you about Jesus, so I want to hear you tell me what you think. I'm going to ask some questions, so if you want to give me an answer, just put your hand up."
With that the teacher asks some questions, and the kids do quite well. Towards the end of the lesson she says, "Right, this is going to have to be the last question for this lesson because we're almost out of time. Where do you think Jesus is, and why?"
A lot of hands go up and the teacher points to one of the kids in the class and says "OK, Sally, let's hear your answer."
"Jesus is in your heart, Miss" replies Sally.
"And why do you think that?" asked the teacher.
"Well, Miss, you told us that Jesus is all about love, and love comes from the heart, so Jesus is in your heart."
"OK Sally, that's a good answer" says the teacher. "Let's try somebody else now. James - can we hear your answer?"
"I think Jesus is in your mind, Miss" says James.
"Oh?" said the teacher. "And what makes you say that?"
"Well, Miss" said James "If you believe in Jesus then you've obviously made your mind up that Jesus exists, so Jesus is really just in your mind."
"OK" says the teacher. "Thank you, James. We've just got time for one more answer."
The teacher selects one more kid and says "Johnny - what about you? Where do you think Jesus is?"
"Jesus is in the toilet, Miss" replies Johnny.
The teacher looks at Johnny quizzically and says "You think Jesus is in the toilet? What makes you think that?"
And with that Johnny replies "Well, Miss, when I was getting ready for school this morning Daddy was banging his fists on the bathroom door and shouting at the top of his voice 'Jesus Christ, are you still in there?' "
