An Atheist In The Woods

kittendiana4u:

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.”
