Good morning, everybody. I just heard this joke by comedian Dane Cook, and wanted to share it before I forgot about it.
A Christian and an atheist are talking about death. The atheist starts off by asking, "What do you believe happens after you die?" The Christian says "I'll live a joyful life with Jesus in Heaven forever." The atheist laughs and begins mocking him - "Really? You...you honestly believe that?"
This riles up the Christian a bit, so he offers his own challenge. "OK then, if you're so smart, answer your own question. What do you do think will happen to you when you die?" This angers the atheist, who suddenly becomes defiant. "I know what will happen to me! When I die, my body will be rejoined with the Earth, and I'll return as a beautiful tree!"
The Christian smiles and says, "I hope you do become a tree. I also hope that while you're in your tree-ness, enjoying the wind, a lumberjack comes along and cuts you down. I hope he drags you throw the mud, chops you into pieces, and then throws what's left of you into a sawmill. Then they can transform your remains into paper."
The atheist is silent for a moment, not sure whether he wants to speak again. Eventually, he presses further. "What would happen to me after that?" The Christian smiles and says, "Well, then they could print the Bible on you."
