In a Concentration camp in France the audience consisted of hundreds of Spanish refugees. A priest and an atheist were debating the existence of God.
Mounting the dais, the priest expounded with simplicity the classic proofs of God's existence. when he had finished, the atheist mounted the platform and disagreed. if God exists let Him kill me within five minutes. After that time elapsed, he was able to say, God does not exist because He did not kill me. a roar of applause hailed the proof of the unbeliever as he ridiculed the priest's arguments.
The priest resumed the rostrum, requested a loaded gun, placed it in the hands of his opponent and asked him to kill him within five minutes. the atheist did not shoot. This man beside me does not exist because he did not fire, cried the priest to the public livid with emotion.
The many good deeds performed by that priest prevented the atheist from firing, and the priest said: You have spared my life when i asked you to kill me the same as God has spared yours when you dared Him to deprive you of your life.
