Teaching Karma with Oreos
A commenter to Ann's post below said he or she is looking forward to posts mocking other religions, including Hinduism. Well, I could not resist that!
Teaching Hinduism:
First, take an Oreo in your hand.
Then, put it in your mouth.
Then, swallow it.
Then, put your finger down your throat until it comes back up again.
Explain to the horrified children that if they do not behave and happily perform their sacred duties in life (even if that means cleaning other peoples bathrooms for almost no money and living in the street) they will come back up as something even more horrible and disgusting than Oreos.
Teaching Judaism:
Take the Oreo in your hand.
Open it up, showing the "cream" filling.
Explain ancient dietary laws.
Explain that lard violates them.
Explain that you don't really understand them either.
Pass out Hydrox cookies instead.
Teaching Islam:
Pretty much the same exercise as with Judaism, but say "Hallal" and don't admit how much Islam has in common with Judaism.
Teaching Buddhism:
Put the Oreo on the table and meditate until you don't want it any more.
