[Humor] Atheist

Atheist

One evening, a young woman came home from a date, rather sad. She told her mother, “The man I dated today proposed to me.”

“Then why are you so sad?” her mother asked.

“Because he also told me he is an atheist. Mom, he doesn’t even believe there’s hell.”

The mother replied, “Marry him anyway. Between the two of us, we’ll show him just how wrong he is.”
