(or, Reason #475 Why I Love The Guy)
Hey! How was your New Year's? Back to work and all that jazz? We spent New Year’s Eve with good friends, one of whom I recently reconnected with after ten years. Her husband is the son of a fairly strict minister, so he was the most outspoken agnostic among the group. The subject of children came up…well, children in the context of God. You know, the usual light conversational material for a party.
My friend’s husband made a skeptical comment about the existence of a higher power, and one of the guests, a surgeon we just met that evening, replied: “Well, that’s your opinion, Mr. Cynical Atheist. I know there’s a God, because I see him in the faces of my two children every day. They are just so innocent and beautiful ... where else could they have come from?”
J piped up. “I’m pretty sure they came from your nutbag!”
