James Randi's Swift - November 10, 2006: "MORE TEST QUESTIONS

Reader Dan Lewandowski of Wichita Falls, Texas, has a few additions to the list of questions we asked last week at “This Is a Test” – see www.randi.org/jr/2006-11/110306relaxing.html#i5.

Q: How many born-again Christians does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. They have already seen the light.

Q: How many agnostics does it take to change a light bulb?
A: We can't know.

Q: How many deists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. If the light bulb no longer interferes with the world, why bother interfering with the light bulb?

Q: How many atheists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. The light bulb does what the light bulb does. Maybe you can understand a tiny portion of light bulb theory, but if you think you know why it’s there, you are deluding yourself. We are not that smart and probably never will be. The light from the light bulb is not there to serve you. You are not the grand drama around which the light bulb spins. Just be thankful for whatever light you have been lucky enough to experience."
