Favorite Teacher

A young woman teacher with obvious religious tendencies
explains to her class of small children that she is a Christian. She asks her class if they are Christians too. Not really knowing what Christianity is but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like fleshy fireworks.
There is, however, one exception. A beautiful girl named Lucy has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not a Christian." Then, asks the teacher, "what are you?"
"I'm an Atheist." The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Lucy why she is an Atheist.
"Well, my mom is an Atheist, and my dad is an Atheist , so I am an Atheist."
The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she says loudly. "What about if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?" A pause, and a smile.
"Then," says Lucy, "I'd be a Christian.
