A young woman teacher explains to her class of 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, my mom is a Christian, and my dad is a Christian, so they helped me
become a Christian."
The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she says loudly. "What about 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."
