"You're not allowed to say Jesus--you're Jewish."

If you read that quote and instantly thought, "Wtf? Tessa's gone mad!" well don't. I need to explain first. And it'll be in story-esque form! Yippee!

Tessa flipped her tennis racket around one wrist after finishing another lunch of Strawberry Fanta and salad with her two closest tennis camp friends, Kellie and Stacey. If there was anything wrong with the camp they were all sent to, it was the food. The only things remotely edible were bananas, Strawberry Fanta, salad, soup, and the deserts.

"See you guys later!" Tessa called to her friends as the two girls headed toward their dorm. Tessa sighed and turned to the dorm building's game room. Already she could see three other campers arguing, whilst the girls from the cheerleading camp flirted with the boys who played lacrosse. Tessa shrugged, setting down her tennis gear and heading over to the group.

"I can't believe you said that!" one of the younger girls was shrieking, gaping at the older boy. He smirked.

"Yeah!" the other girls screamed. "You're not allowed to say Jesus. You're Jewish!"

"Since when was this a rule?" Tessa questioned, leaning back on the air hockey table. The boy snickered. "Are you guys not allowed to say Torah or something? How about God?"

The two young girls crossed their arms. "Hey, that's not fair," the blonde snapped.

"Yeah," the redhead added. "That's totally religionist."

I've actually been thinking about what she said for the past few months. Are people seriously that intolerant or just dumb when it comes to religion? Not that I want to badmouth the girls (they're the sweetest little kids ever!), but seriously?

What. The. Frick.
