One of my closest friends is a VERY VERY religious christian. I mean good old fashioned church every sunday/monday, is in the choir , fundraising, "May God bless you" every time you sneeze and buys a present for Jesus every year on Christmas doesn't have sex til marriage.. kind of Christian.
Now, shockingly, we get along :rofl1: (she thankfully doesn't push her religion onto people and is respectful and kind towards just about everyone, including people whose lifestyle she doesn't agree with or whose religion is different, so it works) and today something happened that had us both literally rolling on the floor almost pissing our pants.
Her: You know what I envy about you being Atheist?
Me: Sex before marriage?
Her: No.
Me: I sleep in on sunday.
Her: No.
Me: Saying god dammit
Her: No.
Me: ..are you sure it's not the sex?
Her: Yes
this goes on for about 15 minutes until..
Her: Ok, say you go crazy and rob a bank. Then they put you on the witness stand and make you swear on the bible that you didn't do anything. You could totally be like "HAHA!! SUCKAS!! I DIDN'T DO IT! ASK ME AGAIN! I AM IRON MAN!! ..you could say anything!!
I was just like WHAT?!?! LOL I had to inform her that the bible isn't the thing supposed to keep you honest really (it's the threat of being convicted of perjury, which is a felony)
and she was just like "Oh.."
We could NOT stop laughing
SO GOOD NEWS! That's what great about atheism! Being able to yell "I AM IRON MAN!" on the witness stand
