An atheist was seated next to a little girl on a 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?" 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 shit?"
And then she went back to reading her book.
