Funny sort of religious conversations

This may only be funny to me, but I thought I should share.
My husband is an atheist. I don't know if anyone here knew that, but it is important to the story. It of course means that he often thinks I am crazy.
The past few days I have had a chest cold, so life with me has been a barrel of laughs.
This morning I had a severe coughing fit. After it was over I said "Dear, God."
I don't know whether it was a verbal tick or what, I didn't even realize I had said it until my snarky husband said, "Your god is so dear, huh? He's torturing you."
So I responded, "My god isn't the god of healing. My god is the god of bopping people on the head."
So he said. "Huh. I guess that happens, too."
Now I don't know what he meant by that last phrase, but I thought the whole exchange was amusing enough to share.
Anyone else have amusing stories to share?

Last year on campus there was a Campus Christians Group with a booth out on the campus mall and they were giving away free hot chocolate. We all know it's not free. You have to talk to them. So I thought I'd be a wise a55 in a different way. When asked if I wanted a free coacoa I said
"I prefer not to take beverages from religious groups in tents."
Dark, sure. But then I'm not sure he got the reference either.

They are usually a little slow.
