An
Atheist in the Woods Sent in by Pete of Virginia
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 charging 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 and reaching
for him with his left paw & raising his right paw to strike him.

At that instant moment,
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 a cosmic accident ... now 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 and said: '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.'
