An atheist who noticed a little girl reading the Bible on the train. He approached her and cynically queried, "Surely you do not believe all that trash you are reading, do you?"
"Certainly I do," the girl guilelessly replied.
The fable of Adam and Eve?
Certainly.
And Cain and Abel?
Yes, I do.
Surely you don’t buy that one about Noah and his zoo on the ark and that toad strangler rain storm that flooded the earth.
Of course, I do.
Jonah and the whale?
Sure I do.
Well, how are you going to prove it?
I suppose you are going to ask Jonah when you get to heaven?
That sounds like a good idea. I think I shall.
And what are you going to do if Jonah isn't there?
Well, then you ask him.
