Humour about atheists
I was watching an Aussie stand-up comedy show the other night - there was some of the usual adult content but there was one bit in particular I liked. One of the comedians, who I think was the host, started off by saying 'What do we think of atheists?' There was an uncertain silence for a moment and then some nervous cheers. She continued with something like, 'I think they're a bit too full of themselves - so passionate about nothing,' then talked about them looking down their noses at people praying because they're in trouble, telling them, 'Hope you're backing the right horse!' She said something about wanting to say the same sort of thing to the atheists. I kept waiting for it to turn around onto Christians but it never did - it was quite refreshing. Just thought I'd share.

Re: Humour about atheists
Atheists dish it out by the truckloads to Christians (let's face it, just Christians.) they ought to learn to take it on the chin whatever inevitably comes their way.

So this Baptist moonshiner is making a run and the sheriff notices his car is riding mighty low on the springs.Hortator wrote:Atheists dish it out by the truckloads to Christians (let's face it, just Christians.) they ought to learn to take it on the chin whatever inevitably comes their way.
"Whatcha got in the trunk?" he asks.
Our driver says, "Why Sheriff, it's some fine Branch Water I''m a-sellin'
to them flatlanders in the city!
Sheriff opens a jug and says, "This smells like Spiritus Frumenti!"
Moonshiner is down on his knees calling out-
"Thank God for Jesus, He's done it again!"

A young woman returns home after a date with her beau. Her mother asks her "Awwww sweetie, why are you crying?"
-"because Johnny asked me to marry him!"
-"Why would that make you cry? I thought you loved him!"
-"I do love him but he's an ATHEIST! He doesn't believe in Heaven or Hell!"
-"Awwww sweetie, he'll find out about Heaven when he dies...As for Hell, he'll know it exists a few months into your marriage."
-"because Johnny asked me to marry him!"
