Witty come-backs... (I can never remember)


I spied this little photo caption today on Pharyngula, it's not bad but there's an even better retort to this well trodden atheist put-down hidden away in the post comments, a military guy replied by saying that whenever he hears a theist spouting this kind of thing he always replies...

"There are certainly no Chaplains in foxholes"...

That would do it..

179 chaplains killed in WW1, 134 in WW2.
Sure that shouldn't be "There are no politicians or generals in Foxholes"?

G, I guess that's why it works, i.e. it's insulting *and* false, just like the atheist one.
