为杂货祈祷
鸭绒25(译)
2023年9月18日
有一位信教的女士住在一位无神论者的隔壁。
每天,当这位女士祈祷时,无神论者都能听到她的声音。
他心想:“她真是疯了。一直这样祈祷。难道她不知道没有上帝吗?”
很多时候,当她祈祷时,他会去她家骚扰她,说:“女士。你为什么一直祈祷?你不知道没有上帝吗?”
但她还是继续祈祷。
一天,女士的食品杂货用完了。和往常一样,她向上帝祈祷。解释自己的处境,并感谢他将要做的事情。
像往常一样,无神论者听到她祈祷,心想:“哼!我会治好她的。”
他去了杂货店,买了一大堆日用杂货。他把这些东西带到她家,放在她的门廊上。按过门铃,他就躲在门前的灌木丛里看她会做如何反应。
当她打开门,看到这堆杂货时,她又开始祈祷。她在门廊上手舞足蹈,全心全意地赞美着上帝。
无神论者从灌木丛中跳了出来,告诉她:“你这个疯女人。上帝没有给你买这些杂货。是我买的!”
听到这些,她勃然大怒。她大声呼喊着上帝,从门廊里跑到了马路上。
当他终于抓到她时,问她究竟发得什么神经。
她说:“我知道上帝会提供我一些食品杂货。但我不知道他竟然让魔鬼为它们买单!”
原文: Christian Prays for Groceries
There was a Christian lady who lived next door to an atheist。Every day,when the lady prayed,the atheist guy could hear her。
He thought to himself:“She sure is crazy,praying all the time like that。Doesn't she know there isn't a God?”
Many times while she was praying,he would go to her house and harass her,saying:“Lady,why do you pray all the time?Don't you know there is no God?”
But she kept on praying。
One day,she ran out of groceries。As usual,she was praying to the Lord explaining her situation and thanking Him for what He was gonna do。
As usual,the atheist heard her praying and thought to himself:“Humph!I'll fix her。”
He went to the grocery store,bought a whole bunch of groceries,took them to her house,dropped them off on the front porch,rang the door bell and then hid in the bushes to see what she would do。
When she opened the door and saw the groceries,she began to praise the Lord with all her heart,jumping,singing and shouting everywhere!
The atheist then jumped out of the bushes and told her:“You ol' crazy lady。God didn't buy you those groceries。I bought those groceries!”
At hearing this,she broke out and started running down the street,shouting and praising the Lord。
When he finally caught her,he asked what her problem was。
She said:“I knew the Lord would provide me with some groceries,but I didn't know he was gonna make the devil pay for them!”
