    There was once a man and a priest talking to one another. The man did not believe in God. The man said he would believe in God if he would quench a candle by standing a few yards away. The priest stood at the door and he made the sign of the cross and he quenches the candle without a bit of trouble. He then made the sign of the cross again and it lit. The man then believed in God.
