I'm So Glad Reporters Don't Call Me Anymore*

You know all of those news articles you see published every year at Ramadan that ask if Muhammad really heard from the archangel Gabriel? No? 

Well, how about all the stories each Divali that cast doubt on the goddess Lakshmi’s ability to bless her worshipers? No? 

Then how about those articles for Eastertime questioning whether Jesus really did rise from the dead? 
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding! 

Yep, those come out every year.

[*The trick is to answer their questions in as complicated a manner as possible.  They hate that, especially as most of them know little of religion and get confounded by Christian terms.]
