An atheist was lecturing on his beliefs to a large crowd. Having finished his address, he invited any who had questions to ask to come up on the platform. After a few minutes, a man stepped forward and, taking an orange from his pocket, coolly began to peel it.
The lecturer asked him to ask his question, but without replying the man finished peeling his orange and then ate it.
When he had finished his orange he turned to the lecturer and asked him if it was a sweet one.
Very angry, the man said, “How foolish! How can I know whether it was sweet or sour when I never tasted it?”
“And how can you know anything about Christ if you have not tried him?” answered the Christian.
