Agnostic and Atheist Anecdotes!

The late Dr Jowett, the famous master of Balliol College, Oxford, was met one day in the “quad” by an undergraduate who informed him that he, for his part, could find no positive evidence of the existence of God.

Well, Mr B, said Dr Jowett tartly,

“If you don’t find a god by five o clock this afternoon, you will leave this college!”

Voltaire’s Fear

One day. When D’Alambert and Condorcet were dining with Voltaire, they proposed to converse of atheism, but Voltaire stopped them at once.

Wait, said he, till my servants have withdrawn. I do not wish to have my throat cut tonight.

No Religion

During the riots of 1780 most persons in London, in order to save their houses from being burnt or pulled down, wrote on their doors,

No Popery!

Old Grimaldi, to avoid all mistakes, wrote on his,

‘No religion ‘

(The Gordon Riots of 1780 began as an anti-Catholic protest in London against the Papists Act of 1778, which was intended to reduce official discrimination against British Catholics. The protest evolved into riots and looting.)

Is Christ All Powerful?

The Little Louise Napoleon did not respond with particular susceptibility to his religious education. In the course of it, he stumbled upon one of the puzzling problems which is remarked upon by many young theological students.

His instructor had portrayed with great melodrama the anguish and suffering of Christ. Louise manifested little reaction

“Aren’t you grieved ?” demanded his teacher, “to think how these wicked men behaved to our Lord.”

“Well”, objected, Louise

“If he was all powerful, why did he let them?”
