This meme brought back some memories for me. A long time ago in a galaxy far away, I attended a college in the Bible Belt. We would, on occasion, be visited by fundamentalist Christian missionaries. My Christian roommates assigned me, their Jewish roommate, the task of sending them away.

I would educate them about the Jewish ritual of a bris and offer to show them that I was circumcised. Then I’d show them the kitchen shears and offer to convert them to Judaism on the spot They’d leave and not come back.

**The Weight of Silence** In the quiet of the night, I lie awake, The world outside asleep, but my soul does ache.
