The Atheist In The Woods July 5, 2014

An atheist was walking through the woods admiring the landscape:
What majestic trees!
What powerful rivers!
What beautiful animals!
As he walked along the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes and saw a 7-foot-tall grizzly bear charging towards him.
He dashed up the path, but heard the bear closing in on him.
Then he tripped and fell to the ground!
Rolling over, he saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike.
At that instant the Atheist cried out, “Oh my God!”
Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
A bright light shone upon the man from above and a voice echoed through the forest:
“You deny My existence for all these years, teach others to scoff at Me, 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?”
Looking into the light, the atheist said, “It would be hypocritical of me to ask you to treat me as believer 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. The bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head and spoke:
“Lord, bless this food which I am about to receive from thy bounty. Amen.”
Aah . . . that’s better!
