I heard this story in my Sunday class today. I'm not going to post the story here because it's not my own so, I'll just link you to it.

@Rollo1 Note that it's placed in quotes. When atheists are getting onto people about believing in God, they will usually say something like that. I was quoting as something they would say. It's a class we have in church. Instead of Sunday school being for children only like in the old days, we have several adult classes as well.
