a moran
A young woman teacher with obvious liberal tendencies explains to
her class of small children that she is an atheist. She asks her class
if they are atheists too. Not really knowing what atheism is but wanting
to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like fleshy
fireworks.
There is, however, one exception. A beautiful girl named Lucy has
not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided
to be different. “Because I’m not an atheist.”
Then, asks the teacher, what are you? “I’m a Christian.”
The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She
asks Lucy why she is a Christian. “Well, I was brought up knowing
and loving Jesus. My mom is a Christian, and my dad is a Christian,
so I am a Christian.”
The teacher is now angry. “That’s no reason,” she says loudly. “What
if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be
then?” A pause, and a smile.
“Then,” says Lucy, “I’d be an atheist.”
