		<description>A University professor at a well known institution of higher learning challenged his students with this question. &quot;Did God create everything that 
exists?&quot; 
 A student bravely replied, &quot;Yes he did!&quot;   &quot;God created everything?&quot; The professor asked.   &quot;Yes sir, he certainly did,&quot; the student replied.   The professor answered, &quot;If God created everything; then God created evil. And,  since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we  are, then we can assume God is evil.&quot;   The student became quiet and did not answer the professor&#039;s hypothetical  definition. The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students  that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.   Another student raised his hand and said, &quot;May I ask you a question, professor?&quot;  &quot;Of course&quot;, replied the professor.   The student stood up and asked, &quot;Professor, does cold exist?&quot;   &quot;What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?&quot;  The other students snickered at the young man&#039;s question.   The young man replied, &quot;In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws  of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body  or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is  what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460 F) is  the total absence of heat; and all matter becomes inert and incapable of  reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to  describe how we feel if we have no heat.&quot;   The student continued, &quot;Professor, does darkness exist?&quot;   The professor responded, &quot;Of course it does.&quot;   The student replied, &quot;Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist  either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not  darkness. In fact, we can use Newton&#039;s prism to break white light into many  colors and study the various wavelengths of each color.   You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of  darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You  measure the amount of light present. Isn&#039;t this correct? Darkness is a term used  by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.&quot;  Finally the young man asked the professor, &quot;Sir, does evil exist?&quot;  Now uncertain, the professor responded, &quot;Of course, as I have already said. We  see it everyday. It is in the daily examples of man&#039;s Inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These  manifestations are nothing else but evil.  To this the student replied, &quot;Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not  exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness  and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did  not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God&#039;s  love present in his heart. It&#039;s like the cold that comes when there is no heat,  or the darkness that comes when there is no light.&quot;   The professor sat down.  </description>

		<description>An atheist walks into a bar and asks Tony, the bartender, for a beer. As tony hands him the glass the atheists says &quot;Thanks, add it to my tab&quot;, to which the bartender says &quot;No problem!&quot;. A priest sees the scene, walks up to the bartender and asks for a beer too. As Tony hands him the glass the priest says &quot;Thanks, add it to my tab, please&quot;. Tony replies &quot;Sorry father, but you have to pay now&quot;. The priest, visibly upset, reminds Tony, a member of his congregation, of his status, and adds &quot;are saying you trust this man, a person with a known lack of faith, more than you trust me?&quot;. Tony answers &quot;I know one thing, atheist pay their dues in this life, while believers leave it all for the next. It will be $5, NOW, please&quot;</description>

		<description>stogoe:
&lt;blockquote&gt;An atheist walks into a bar and finds a priest, a rabbi, and an imam in boisterious discussion at a table in the back.
“What is this, a joke?” he thinks to himself.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
If that joke ended right there, it would&#039;ve been the funniest joke here.</description>

		<description>An atheist walked into a bar…

...and said &quot;I&#039;ll have a Salvation Special.&quot; 

The bartender looked at him curiously.  &quot;Never heard of that one...what&#039;s in it?&quot;

The atheist pointed to a dozen different bottles.  &quot;One shot of each of those...and a twist of lime.&quot;

&quot;Uh, are you sure?&quot; the bartender asked.  &quot;Sounds like the recipe for a major hangover.&quot;

The atheist shrugged.  &quot;Yeah, I&#039;ll feel like death for three days but after that I&#039;ll be fine.&quot;</description>
