Have Faith

"The woman in the taxi is having a discussion with the driver.  "The point is," says the driver, "that God is always with the Jews, always."

What about the Holocaust? the woman asks.  The driver is silent for the rest of the journey.  As the woman gets out of the taxi, he turns to her and says: "Lady, you're OK as a person.  Your problem is that you have too little faith."
