Julie and Jenni,
I just asked my husband, and he said, “to get away from the Christian radicals.”
Great minds think alike.

..to prove there was nothing on “the other side”
heathcliffe
…it was the rational thing to do at the time
QrazyQat
Because there was a car barreling down the sidewalk on this side; the religious guy behind the atheist just stayed and prayed the car wouldn’t hit him.
Because he thought that people on his side of the road weren’t being real and were becoming increasingly dangerous, not least because they were clogging up cognitive evolution.
Goddamn Chicken
…Because the Jew, the Christian and the Muslim were too busy arguing whose God was real.
Mark
Because he wanted to make sure the other side existed.
to demonstrate that not even a miracle could save him from the truck closing in on him…

Right Siders have long extolled the virtues of the right side of the road, proclaiming anyone else (leftians and even centerians) to be heretics. All those who ventured to the other side of the road were, supposedly, doomed to an eternity of torture. Even looking across to the left side was strongly discouraged. However, when using objectively obtained evidence, it became more and more clear that the left side of the street was not, as had long been asserted, a sinister hotbed of hedonistic Satan worship, but was in fact lush and green with ice-cream stands and everything. Add to that the fact that there was plenty of room to move around, as opposed to the cramped right side, and the atheist (rightfully) determined that it was to his benefit to cross the road.
Goddamn Chicken
Because the fundamentalist Christian was too busy praising God for the intelligently designed road.
The real question is what is the “road”? Control. The road is a computer-generated path built to turn an atheist into this [holds up doll of Benny Hinn].

Why Did The Fundie Cross The Road??
1. He was following a trail of “Chick” tracts.
2. To buy his beer and porn, since none of his fellow church members lived on that side of town.
3. He wasn’t sure why, so he stopped to pray about it and was hit by a church bus.
4. Because, there were two blacks and a jew walking on her side of the road.
5. Taking a short cut to a new sub-division, trying to beat the mormans and jehovah’s witnesses to all those virgin doors.
6. She was on her way to partake in one of fundieism’s most holy of rituals at the “The Big Hair Beauty Shop”.
7. He was walking back home after the bomb he was wearing failed to explode on the bus and he had only purchased a one way ticket.
8. She was taking a group of home schoolers on an educational field trip to an anti-abortion rally.
9. To lay hands on that dead possum and heal it, if not, he had take home for supper.
10. He was a black fundie walking home after a white fundie cab driver refused to stop and give him a ride.
11. I don’t know, but it was a cross road, he stepped on a nail and suffered all the way home.
12. He was trying to get back to his double parked cross before the meter maid could give him a ticket.
13 He was walking to McDonalds to apply for a job after the world failed to come to an end the day before, he had quit his job and signed his car and house over to his preacher.
14. I don’t know, but it’s dangerous as hell to cross a two lane road with blinders on.
15. He was leading his family to the church grounds for the unveiling of the new Strom Thurmond statue.
16 Because, the road took a LEFT turn.
17. He was trying to find that damn chicken and exorcise it, after he heard it was laying deviled eggs.
18. To find a better spot for his ” I Hate Fags” sign.
19. I don’t know why, but I’ll bet he goes to hell for it.
20. He saw the sign that read “Cross Walk”, and he wanted to walk in Jesus’ footsteps.
21. She was taking the long way around the block to church, so all the neighbors could see her new easter clothes.
22. He was trying to catch that damn chicken, so his wife could cook it up for the preacher on sunday.
23. No reason…….No reason at all!
28. (Sing Along Now) HE SAW THE LIGHT, PRAISE THE LORD HE SAW THE Light!)
I’ll accept that the atheist crossed the road when you can offer sufficient proof that both atheist and road exist and that the road was actually crossed. Your anecdotal stories of this crossing aren’t what I would class as proof.
Mike
To rescue a baby in a stroller that was about to get hit by a speeding car!
Then, of course, he ate the baby.

Guys and gals… We all know how it feels to have this great punchline, and see someone else has already posted it. I know… it’s hard not to take any credit at all for your clever thinking. But no one wants to read ‘Oh, I was gonna say the same thing as X.” Sorry to be rude… but this is a very common occurrence!!!
Now that I complained, I’m self-conscious about my unfunny and unoriginal joke… oh well.
She was jogging to stay in shape, since this is the only life she’s got.
Because he was ashamed of his sins and was trying to hide from God by pretending he didn’t exist. And there were no churches on the other side or something, which made his denial easier to cope with.
Julie
–Because the other atheist he was dating lived over there.
–Because he needed to buy more Fiery Hot Cheetos. Yummy.
Tyler Nothing
The atheist didn’t like reading children’s fairy tales anymore, and chose to journey across the road and read something thought provoking, like “I Sold My Soul on eBay”.
Cade
He just finished saying “If God exists, let me be hit by the next car.”
jmc
To go to church so he could hear the power of the gospel, understand that he was a sinner, and to know that there is a penalty for sin which is hell, but to know that Christ died for his sin so he did not have to go to hell, call upon the Lord to forgive him of that sin and be saved. then he crossed the road and told all his atheist friends what happened!

JMC-
Hahahahahaaa!! that one was the BEST!
Oh, wait, you were serious, weren’t you? Oh, well, that’s awkward then…
Crimzen

but jesus died for our sins so we dont have to go to hell
….wouldnt hell be empty because we are all absolved?
