Richard Dawkins Goes to Hell

So the famous atheist Richard Dawkins died and was greeted by Satan at the entrance to Hell. "Welcome," says the Devil. Your friends are all here, the pool is to the right, we have a great library, group discussion sessions, and be sure to let us know if there is something we can help with. Dawkins is a bit startled, but pleased. Then one of Satan's minions, announces, "Alert, alert, God will be here in about 5 minutes."

Satan quickly makes the alert announcement and all of a sudden flames shoot up in front of everything, screams are heard in the distance, and then God walks in. God asks how it's going. "Just great," replies Satan, lots of tormented souls here receiving their just punishments, pain, and suffering."

God says, "Terrific." and to St. Peter at his side, says, "OK, Pete, let's go send another hurricane to Haiti and a tornado to the Midwest and see if we can't kill a few more souls and get some more converts." He exits, the flames disappear, and the pool is again in sight. Dawkins, slightly flummoxed, asks Satan what that was all about. Satan replies, "Oh, God stops by every now and again just to make sure we are being horrible and tormenting souls, so we put on this show for him to keep him happy."
