I am a pedophile, and my boyfriend is in driver's ed.
My boyfriend is Jewish/atheist.
His driver's ed instructor is a Christian minister.
So when this instructor has Ethan trapped in a car for relatively long periods of time, he takes the opportunity to oh-so-subtly suggest that he should become a Christian.
Here's a sample of a conversation:
DEI: So, what church does your family go to?
BF: Actually, my family is Jewish; we go to Temple Beth Israel.
DEI: Oh, wow. Jewish. That's really great, you know? I mean, there were so many great Jews. Like Moses. He was really great. And Abraham, and Issac. Man, they were great people. You know ... Jesus was a Jew.
Fast forward.
DEI: Jesus was such a great guy. You know why he was such a great guy?
BF: Why was he such a great guy?
DEI: Because he never lied. Jesus sais, "I am what I am." And that wasn't a lie.
Fast forward.
DEI: Jesus really backed up his claims. He had a really legitimate claim to be the son of God. Now, Ethan, if I said to you that I am the son of God, you would know I was lying. Right?
