A RIDDLE FOR ATHEISTS |
A RIDDLE FOR ATHEISTS
Johnny is 11. He is being taught the principles of the american constitution
and its amendments by his atheistic parents. Recent lessons given him has
focused on the first amendment.
The other day, Johnny's school teacher gave him some math problems for
homework. When his teacher checked his homework the next day, she was
astonished that Johnny gave everyone of the problems incorrect answers.
His teacher therefore called him to her desk and asked him had he forgotten
how to solve such problems. But Johnny said to his teacher, "None of my
answers are incorrect." His teacher asked him why did he say such, and he
said, "Because the answers are the ones I believe them to be, and I have a
constitutional right to my opinion. You have the opinion that the answers
should be such and such, but I say differently. You cannot say my answers
are wrong. I have the right to my opinion and you have the right to yours.
If you are dogmatic that my answers should be the same as yours, that makes
you self-righteous and a biggot. If you say my answers are wrong, you are
judging me. Judge not lest you be judged. I deserve an 'A' like everyone
else."
The riddle is this: Who is right, Johnny or his teacher? Is there an atheist
who can solve this riddle?

Well in that case one can always do a test, ofcourse the god of the

On matters of religious belief, the boy is right. On all other matters
the teacher is usually right. But having been both a boy and a teacher,
I know that neither is infallible.
And I know further that those who most claim infallibility usually are
wrong about a great many important things.

Naw, Little Johnny solved his problems in a non-Euclidean geometry
because his intelligent aetheist parents were also home schooling him. He
was testing his teacher to see if she would notice. But being a public
school teacher who also taught creationism in 4th period science, she
wasn't very bright.

On probability the teacher is right in his/her answers but it is

He is not tasked with coming up with a religious answer, but a math answer, and

A RIDDLE FOR ATHEISTS
Johnny is 11. He is being taught the principles of the american constitution
and its amendments...is right, Johnny or his teacher? Is there an atheist
who can solve this riddle?
I can and it's the teacher, of course.
Firstly, the American Constitution applies only to that small subset
of the Human race who happen to be American citizens. It is not
applicable to the vast majority intelligent beings on Earth, leave
alone in the universe as a whole.
Whatever Johnny's opinion, the ratio of a circle's circumference to
its diameter is still Pi and this is as true on Betelgeuse, as it is
in Boston or Beirut.
If you need to find out what length copper of tubing you need to wrap
around a cylinder 100 times, multiplying the diameter by anything
other than 3.1428etc, will give you the wrong figure for the
circumference of the drum and you will end up buying too much or too
little tubing. You will then have either to make a wasted journey for
more tubing or have wasted money on tubing you didn't need. QED.
Secondly, there is no reason for this to be a specifically atheist
problem. There is no commandment in the Bible, which specifies which
numbers should be considered primes, etc, so Johnny could be just as
stupid if he were a Christian. Indeed his Christianity would make this
more likely, not less.
As the tubing example shows, it is quite possible to derive some
objective truths from observation, or in the case of primes, logical
consistency alone.
Now, do you have an intelligent question?

A RIDDLE FOR ATHEISTS
Johnny is 11. He is being taught the principles of the american constitution
and its amendments by his atheistic parents. Recent lessons given him has
focused on the first amendment.
The other day, Johnny's school teacher gave him some math problems for
homework. When his teacher checked his homework the next day, she was
astonished that Johnny gave everyone of the problems incorrect answers.
His teacher therefore called him to her desk and asked him had he forgotten
how to solve such problems. But Johnny said to his teacher, "None of my
answers are incorrect." His teacher asked him why did he say such, and he
said, "Because the answers are the ones I believe them to be, and I have a
constitutional right to my opinion. You have the opinion that the answers
should be such and such, but I say differently. You cannot say my answers
are wrong. I have the right to my opinion and you have the right to yours.
If you are dogmatic that my answers should be the same as yours, that makes
you self-righteous and a biggot. If you say my answers are wrong, you are
judging me. Judge not lest you be judged. I deserve an 'A' like everyone
else."
The riddle is this: Who is right, Johnny or his teacher? Is there an atheist
who can solve this riddle?
Marbury v. Madison. The Constitution says what the Supreme Court
says it says (which, as you may have noticed, changes from time to
time). As such, the objectively subjective standard will be the one
that prevails.
First Amendment rights are not absolute, but Johnny can always sue
his teacher for the "A." (However, as a general rule, de minimis non
curat lex. :))

You are going to amass a large number of plonks for that. Essentially, there
are no alt.atheism atheists who can solve the problem, save for maybe Orhan
Orgun. Apart from Ohran, they are all illogical nitwits. There is not one
amongst them (other than possibly Ohran) who will see or even admit that the
child's position is invalid. That is so because alt.atheists are only
equiped with sufficient faculties to do the same as the child; display
immense folly in asserting opinion in lieu of verifiable facts.
Of course, had you portrayed the witless child as having Christian parents,
you would have become an alt.atheism hero.

I solved the riddle and I'm an alt.atheist. I used pi, but I could
have used primes or Pythagoras' Theorem, etc...

Errrrr, me. Me! I did!

I have yet to encounter a verifiable fact, which unequivocally points
to a supernatural cause. Neither have you, because if you had, I'm
sure you'd have told us.
Of course, had you portrayed the witless child as having Christian parents,
you would have become an alt.atheism hero.
Atheists don't stoop to Christian standards. We don't indulge in
character assasination, even though we do feel your beliefs are
foolish.
No, the whole scenario is the product of a febrile Christian mind and
no Christian who ever listened to an atheist would have concocted such
a piece of silliness. Only an ignorant bigot could make it up and only
an ignorant bigot would swallow it.
