Tomatoes - a short story

Tomatoes

There once was a church with some believers who disagreed with others on a specific topic. Sometimes the disagreement escalated into shouting, other times into gossip and even insults. They all believed that Jesus is the Vine, and the believers are the branches. But soon they allowed their disagreement to divide. So, some attended the new “Church of Tomatoes Are Fruit,” and some attended “Tomatoes Are a Vegetable Church,” while several others were so disenfranchised they no longer attended church nor ate tomatoes. One day, when no one was looking, many of them got tomatoes in their eyes when Jesus returned.
