This man was walking down the street one day when he noticed a little boy selling some kittens.
Theyre atheist kittens, the little boy says. Want to buy one, mister?
No thanks, says the man, and walked away.
The following week, the same man was walking down the same street and he saw the same little boy selling the same kittens.
How much are your atheist kittens? the man asks.
Theyre not atheists anymore, the little boy says. Theyre Christians now.
How so? asks the man.
Well, says the little boy. Last week their eyes were still closed, but now their eyes are open now they see the Light.
Sophistry plausibly deceptive or fallacious reasoning doesnt prove a thing, but it can certainly be used to pull the wool over the eyes of those too naive to realise theyve been had. Any atheist who believes the blind faith version of the above joke actually proves anything should bear in mind this kept in the dark version.
