I'm not Catholic, but I'm circumsized

Today I was filling out my DePaul application next to Amy and I got to the part where you designate your religion. DePaul was founded as a Catholic university, so the application has 'Catholic' and 'other.' I wondered if they were conveying a preference here.

I asked Amy if they can check to see if I'm Catholic.

'Is there a huge God Book where they can see if I was morphed into a Catholic?'
'I don't know, I'll ask my mom.'

So she calls her mom and asks if there's a God Book, and it turns out there's some kind of baptism registry. We sat and brainstormed ways I could scam DePaul into letting me in despite being on the fast track to hell.

'I'm circumsized,' I offer.
'That's for Jewish people,' Amy said, shaking her head.
'I heard that,' her mom said from Amy's phone.

So now Amy's mom knows more about my wiener than before.

Still in need of scamming ideas for DePaul...

(bed.)

Anybody have ideas that would help me in this situation? Should I...
  • pretend to be Catholic and hope they don't check,
  • put myself down as an agnostic, or
  • claim to follow another, less verifiable religion?
Any input would be appreciated.

For the record, I know there isn't a big "God Book" -- but I was just checking to see if they'd ask for a baptismal certificate.

Chances are -- it's a no.

But, hey! Tope informed me that she got in just fine, and she checked the "other" box and wrote in "Muslim."

I'd say you still have a pretty good shot.
