The Mean Teacher!

[the worthy one]

Here is a joke I go this morning. Hopefully it will make you laugh.

One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in a classroom.
The teacher was going to explain evolution to the
children. The teacher asked a little boy:

TEACHER: Tommy do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see
the sky.
TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I
saw the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see God?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: That's my point. We can't see God because he
isn't there. He doesn't exist.

A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some
questions. The teacher agreed and the little girl
asked the boy:

LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yessssss (getting tired of the questions by
this time).
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yessssss
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?
TOMMY: Yes
LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?
TOMMY: No
LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught
today in school, she must not have one!

Question: What does evolution have to do with whether or not God exists?

(By the way, we can see brains with magnetic resonance imaging, among other things. Or, post-mortem, we can hold them in our hands and even slice them into sections.)

I don't get humor in the joke. Did you hear it from Nick?

 

[the worthy one]

Oh geez...

Get over it.

Sorry, I just don't see the point of the "joke." Can you explain it? Maybe it will be funny then.

Why was this posted in the Science forum?

What does this joke have to do with anything in this section of the forum?

Someone should correct that little girl. I mean, I've seen a brain before. We could stick the teacher under a MRI and show it to the little girl.

Even better, we could hook the little girl up, and let her watch her thoughts and emotions trigger little electrical storms in her brain.

Personally, it's something I've always wanted to do, see my brain work in real-time.

Of course, I'm not sure what a teacher is doing talking about God on public time. Must be a private school teacher.

This is one of those "jokes" whose real intent is to mischaracterize non-believers and then make fun of them.

And if you take a moment to point that out, then you are a humorless person who can't take a little joke.

You see, I think that the parable of "Kissing Hank's *ss" is very funny. However, its purpose is to mock the absurdity of certain religious beliefs -- the humor is actually in the presentation and the dialogue. However, I would never post it in a Christian forum under the guise of humor simply because I know it would be offensive.

Hey I found kissing hank's "bum" to be very hilarious, whether it insulted my religion or not. But yeah, I wouldn't put it in the church newsletter unless I was in the mood to be lynched from the church steeple.

the worthy one sure can be a jerk!

Good joke. Seems some here are quite fragile and unable to appreciate good humor.

I like jokes. This one is about as funny as a typical Fred Bassett strip.

Keep them coming, though.

 

[Blessed-one]

without reference to an atheist and God, this's a good joke.

It's like my grandma, who was looking the other way when i came over to the dinner table and said a word of prayer. Then all of sudden, she would turn around and said, you haven't prayed. I didn't see you pray.

Why yes you can.

Here I a believer find that joke to be funny in one sence and insulting in another (like most jokes) but out of place in a forum for talking about science creationis and the universe. I see no reason for posting it here other than trying to start a fight. Fights are easy enough to find in here without tossing a match in the gas can. If you feel like a good fight go back to general appologetics and post a list of contradictions.

Oh don't mind the worthy one. He's just being his argumentative self.

I think the joke is funny but out of place too.

I'm not sure about people taking offense to it though. It's a joke....right?

 

[the worthy one]

Look guys people need to stop being so touchy, its no big deal. Laugh a little.

Ok the sentence says "The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children".

The little girl stopped her in the middle of starting to teach! Thats why it went in the Evolution forum.

GEEZ!

I'm not being argumentative. It was just a joke.
