An atheist was walking through the woods.
'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. He turned 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 & saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his
shoulder again, & the bear was even closer.
He tripped & fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself
up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his
left paw & raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant the Atheist cried out, 'Oh my God!'
Time Stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
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 I don't
exist and even credit
creation to 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 suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but
perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian'?
'Very Well,' said the voice.
The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And the
bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head &
spoke:
'Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy
bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen.'
