Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsThe Little Girl and the Atheist
An atheist was seated next to a little girl on a plane 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 like 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 think 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 girl replies:
"Do you really feel qualified to discuss God, Heaven or Hell, or life after death,
when you don't know shit?"
And then she went back to reading her book.

The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger, "What would you like to talk about?"
"Oh I don't know," said the Christian, "How how giving your life over to Jesus Christ means life everlasting in Heaven and saves you from eternity in the fires of Hell?" as he smiled smugly.
"Okay," she said, "That could be an interesting topic, but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow and a deer all eat the same stuff: grass. Yet a deer excrete little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps, why do you think that is?"

A strawman was seated next to a little girl on a plane 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 like to talk about?"
"Oh I don't know," said the strawman, "How about why there is no God, or no Heaven, or Hell, or no life after death?" as he smiled smugly exposing his teeth of straw.
"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 think that is?"
The strawman, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says:
"Hmmm... I have no idea."
to which the girl replies:
"Do you really feel qualified to discuss God, Heaven or Hell, or life after death,
when you don't know shit?"
And the strawman replied..."I don't f@cking know, I am a f@cking strawman, we are a common form of argument and an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not advanced by that opponent. We are basically what the uneducated and overtly self righteous use to make themselves feel educated. I mean why would a grown man try to breate a little kid's belief? It is disgusting, and why would I be amazed by something as simple as the shape of fecal matter? DO relious people just think about sht all day...oh wait now it all make sense."
Also tell me if you hear this one
A protestant and an Irish Catholic are in Pan Am Flight 103 leaving Northern Ireland together...
or perhaps...
A Religious nut is parking his truck beside a day care in the Federal building in Oklahoma...
or...
A Dr that performs abortions and a religious zealot are on a plane...
or...
A gay guy walks in to a bar in a christian town (spoiler alert they killed him)...
But hey loved your poop joke, it was really deep.

Also, if the little girl has any evidence for the existence of god, Heaven and Hell, and an afterlife, I'm all ears.
