五五 無神論者
為了讓弟子高興，大師要求一件新襯衫做為他的生日禮物。弟子們立刻買進上好布料。村里的裁縫也前來為大師量身，並且一再呼上主之名，保證一週之內一定做好。
一週期限已至。大師高興地等着他的新衣，弟子快馬加鞭地衝到裁縫店取衣。裁縫說：「事情受到一點延誤，但是，因天主之名，明天保證做好。」
第二天，裁縫又說：「真抱歉，還沒有趕好。明天你再來看看，如果天主願意，明天一定會做好。」
次日，大師說：「你去問問他，如果天主不管這檔子事，他需要多久才做得好？」
ATHEISM
To the disciples’ delight the Master said he wanted a new shirt for his birthday. The
finest cloth was bought. The village tailor came in to have the Master measured, and
promised, by the will of God to make the shirt within a week.
A week went by and a disciple was dispatched to the tailor while the Master excitedly
waited for his shirt, Said the tailor. “There has been a slight delay. But, by the will of
God, it will be ready by tomorrow.”
Next day the tailor said, “I’m sorry it isn’t done. Try again tomorrow and. if God so
wills, it will certainly be ready.”
The following day the Master said. “Ask him how long it will take if he keeps God out
of it.”
