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 ****?"

And then she went back to reading her book.


I wonder if that story is too long to make it a sig line?


Cute story, but since god is a canard, anyone is equipped to
discuss
god, heaven and hell, and life after death. If you have some
factually
based proof of the existence of god, heaven, hell, life after
death, et
cetera, spit it out and I'll be glad to read it.


To which I'd say exactly what the little girl said. " You don't
know ****"


Well, of course you'd say that because you cannot come up with a
sliver
of factually based proof for the existence of god, heaven, hell,
life
after death, et
cetera. Mankind has been evolving its beliefs in gods and god for
thousands of years, but there isn't any proof for any of it. Even
the
Age of Enlightenment wasn't able to do away with the horrors of
"organized" religion.




Harry, you *really* need some new material. You've repeated your
gospel
here at least 1,000 times.



Maybe. I'm still waiting for one of the god acolytes here to present
*any* factually based proof for the existence of god, heaven, hell,
life
after death, et cetera.


Why is that? Nervous?


Intellectual curiosity, something Trumpites find heretical.



The proof you are looking for is an inward, private and individual
thing. You don't have to subscribe but it's not your call to define
anything to anyone.

I've always thought that those who have the most to say about religion
and/or are the most critical of the beliefs of others seem to be the
most insecure in their own skin.




No, the proof *I* am looking for is factually based, backed up with
evidence. And I'm not trying to define anything in god. What I can
define is what is NOT there, such as any factually based proof.

Actually, if self-described christians in this country didn't expend so
much time, money, and effort trying to force and forcing their beliefs
on those who feel differently, I wouldn't pay any attention to the
horrors they inflict on society.


I'll try to remember your recommendation the next time some
self-described Christian tries to force his or her beliefs on me.

Let me see, when did that happen last? ... ummmm .... can't think of a
single time.




It's a societal thing for many. I don't plan on seeking an abortion, for
example, but there are women who will, and the christian hypocrites are
making that much more difficult and would like to make it impossible.
