Some people prefer to remain to themselves when flying alone. Some people choose to pass the time by striking up a conversation with the stranger seated across from them. However, what happens when those two travellers have totally opposing views on life?
On social media, there is a comical anecdote about an atheist and a cowboy who clearly believes in God. Furthermore, even if the story is made-up, the punchline remains pertinent!
Atheist And Cowboy On A Plane
This is the narrative that is being shared all over Facebook:
“An atheist was seated next to a dusty old cowboy on an aeroplane,” and he turned to him and asked, “Do you want to talk?” Flights travel faster if you engage in conversation with your fellow passengers.”
The old cowboy, who had just started reading his book, asked the total stranger, “What would you like to talk about?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” responded the atheist. “How about why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?” He smiled smugly.
“All right,” he said. “Those could be interesting topics, but first I’ll ask you a question. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same thing: grass. However, a deer excretes little pellets, a cow makes a flat patty, and a horse generates clumps. “Why do you think that is?”
The atheist, apparently taken aback by the old cowboy’s intelligence, thinks about it and responds, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”
The cowboy responds, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss God, Heaven, and Hell, or life after death when you don’t know c**p?”
We hope this hilarious story brightened your day. Make sure someone who needs a laugh hears the joke about the atheist and the cowboy!
“There is for us only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we are for him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we have our being through him.” 1 Corinthians 8:6.
