AN ATHEIST IN THE WOODS
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 arustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly charge towards him. Heran 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 waseven closer. He tripped & fell on the ground. Herolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bearwas right on top of him, reaching for him with hisleft paw & raising his right paw to strike him. Atthat 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 theseyears, teach others I don't exist and even credit creation to cosmic accident." "Do you expect me tohelp you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer"?
The atheist looked directly into the light, "Itwould be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask Youtotreat me as a
Christian now, but perhaps You could make the BEAR aChristian"?
"Very Well," said the voice.
The light went out. The sounds of the forestresumed. 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."
