Here's a new twist on an old story.
> An atheist was walking through the woods, admiring > all that the > > accidents that evolution had created. "What > majestic trees! What > > powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!", he said > to himself. > > > > As he was walking alongside the river he heard a > rustling in the bushes > > behind him. Turning to look, he saw a 7-foot > grizzly bear charge > > towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the > path. He looked over > > his shoulder and saw the grizzly was closing. > > > > Somehow, he ran even faster, so scared that tears > came to his eyes. He > > looked again and the bear was even closer. His > heart was pounding and > > he tried to run faster. He tripped and fell to the > ground. He rolled > > over to pick himself up but the bear was right > over him, reaching for > > him with its left paw and raising its right paw > strike him. At that > > instant the atheist cried: "Oh my God!...." > > > > Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was > silent. Even the river > > stopped moving. > > > > As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came > out of the sky: "You > > deny my existence for all these years, teach > others that I don't exist > > and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do > you expect me to help > > you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as > a believer?" > > > > The atheist looked directly into the light: "It > would be hypocritical of > > me to ask to be a Christian after all these years, > but perhaps you could > > make the bear a Christian?" > > > > "Very well" said the voice. The light went out. > The river ran. The > > sounds of the forest resumed. > > > > ...and then the bear dropped his right paw, > brought both paws together > > and bowed its head and spoke: "Lord, for this food > which I am about to > > receive, I am truly thankful." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
