Everyone has a right to their own opinion and worldviews, but that doesn’t mean they should push their beliefs onto others. However, sometimes, there are folks out there who feel the need to debate and shove their way of thinking down other people’s throats. They do this mainly to feel superior. In their eyes, anyone who would dare think differently than they do isn’t just wrong, but perhaps even not as high on the food chain. These fanatics come in all flavors of belief systems. But in the case of the man in this fictional joke, he was a self-proclaimed atheist who felt the need to browbeat a little girl by trampling on her beliefs. But she had the perfect comeback.
An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane, and he turned to her and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”
The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger, “What would you want to talk about?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said the atheist. “How about why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?” as he smiled smugly.
“Okay,” she said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”
The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl’s intelligence, thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”
To which the little girl replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss God, Heaven, and Hell, or life after death, when you don’t know crap?”
And then she went back to reading her book.
