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 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
