"Myself" - The Test For The Real Religion

A Catholic, a Christian, a Moslem, and a Buddhist met while hiking to find the true nature of themselves.

They came up to the question "Which religion is the best of all?". Each stood with his own faith and agreed to make a test. The test that would certainly uncovered the best religion of all.

They went to the highest cliff they could find.

The Catholic was the first. He jumped off the cliff, made his cross and called "Jesus Christ my savior." He dropped down and died.
The Moslem was the second. A bit scared, he jumped off the cliff, spread his arm wide open and called "Allah almighty." Gravity was not his friend and he died.
The Buddhist was the third. He jumped off the cliff, crossed his legs in meditation posture and called "Buddha, Buddha, Buddha, ..." A quarter distance to the ground he floated and made his way to the ground lightly without a single scratch. He went back to the cliff where the four of them started and tell the Christian, "Your turn."
The Christian was the last. Still amazed, he jumped off the cliff with palm met in front of his chest and called "God The Forgiver."

Half way to the ground, he crossed his legs in meditation posture and called "Buddha, Buddha, Buddha, ..."
