Christian bashing at its best!
Could a lot of the humor in this talk be used against the Jewish Orthodox? Why turn to laughing at another religion?

Moved By Your Story
Tova, your life story is very moving. I came to Judaism via Christianity. Up to the time I converted, I was seeking G-d, and conflicted. Now I am content and thrilled to be Jewish. I pray that I will never take my Jewish soul for granted, nor the mitzvoth we have been given.
