A young woman teacher
explained to her class of small children that she was an atheist.
She asked her class if they were atheists too.
Not really knowing what atheism is but wanting to be like the
teacher, their hands exploded into the air like flashy fireworks.
There was, however, one exception. A beautiful little girl named
Lucy did not go along with the crowd.
Teacher asked her why she had decided to be different.
“Because I'm not an atheist” was Lucy's answer.
“Then,” asked the teacher, “what are you?”
“I'm a Christian,” Lucy answered.
The teacher was a little perturbed and asked Lucy why she was a
Christian.
“Well, my mom is a Christian and my dad is a Christian, so I am a
Christian.”
That response made the teacher angry. “That's no reason,” she
said loudly. “What if your mom was a moron and your dad was a
moron. What would you be then?”
Lucy paused and smiled. Then she said, “I guess I'd be an atheist.”
