Religious Hatred

"I was walking across a bridge one day and I saw a man about to jump. I said,
'Stop, don't do it.'
'Why shouldn't I?' he asked.
'Well, are you Christian?' I asked. He said:
'Yes.' I said,
'Me too. Are you Catholic or Protestant?'
'Protestant.'
'Me too. Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?'
'Baptist.'
'Wow, me too. Are you Baptist church of God or Baptist church of the Lord?'
'Baptist Church of God. '
'Me too. Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you reformed Baptist Church of God?'
'Reformed Baptist Church of God.'
'Me too. Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?' He said,
'Reformation of 1915.' I said:
'Die, heretic scum, and pushed him off."
