The Silly Old Lady_ A True Story

Caspian was just about to shut the doors of his shop for the day, When a nice little old lady wandered in "Darn it" he said to himself but allowed the lady to enter to store.

"Closing up were you?" she smiled as she placed her duffle bag onto the counter.

"Yeah, but that's o.k" caspian made his way to the back of the counter to serve her "What would you like today?"

"Well, actually i don't want to buy anything,"and she placed a small pamphlet onto the desk."I'd like to know if you think you have done enough to make it into gods heaven?"

Caspian looked down at the pamphlet and groaned to himself, a bible basher. It was already past closing time so he abruptly said "I don't believe in heaven" and walked back to the front of the counter and pointed towards the door "And we've closed for the day"

The little old lady opened the brochure and said, "God will open his heart to you and you will live for ever in heaven with him, you need to have faith in god because without him there is nothing."

Caspian had a few options, kick her out nicely, kick her out rudely, or have a debate with her. Usually he would usher them towards the door, but this time he decided to have a bit of fun.

"O.K ", he smiled. "What proof do you have of his existance?"

The little old lady scrambled into her bag and pulled out a worn copy of the bible.

"Everything you need to know is in here"

Caspian walked back to his side of the counter and picked up the bible."So you really believe the earth was created in seven days,that adam and eve were made by a ghost and snakes talk?"

Without hesitation she said "yes."

Caspian continued "and that one of each animal fitted and survived on noahs ark?"

"Yes"

"And that jesus could walk on water and cure deseases?"

The little old lady smiled and said "I see you've read the bible,"

Caspian pushed the bible back into her duffle bag and replied "Only because i was forced to at school, brainwashed at a young age into studying "God." similar what your trying to do to me now, push your beliefs onto me.If i came to your front door with my beliefs you would shun me away, so i think it's time you leave.

The little old lady picked up her pamphlet and walked toward the door.

"I have a great pity for you young man, your soul will be lost for ever."

"What ever"

Caspian swung the door shut behind her and smugishly waved her goodbye.He packed up his belongings, switched the lights of and left the building.As he walked toward his car the lady was waiting for him.

"I want you to have this" she held out her bible to him

"No thanks"

As he walked passed her she followed.

"Answer me this then,"Caspian turned to face her "where in the bible does it say anything about dinosaurs, i mean if the bible is the story of existance, how come theres nothing about prehistoric man and sabatooth tigers and things like that?"

The little old lady paused for a second and said "Dinosaurs never existed, If it's not in the bible then it's not fact."

Caspian let out an almighty laugh"What about all the bones they find,buried for millions of years?"

"Non believers have buried them recently to fool people like you,they are nothing but fake." The little old ladys cheeks turned a bright shade of red,as if she'd embarresed herself, but she new she couldn't turn back now."it's a conspircy against the church"

Caspian chucked to himself and walked away" Go home and have a good look at yourself lady, That's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard,not only do you lie to other people, your lying to yourself."
