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 and
saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. He
tripped and 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 and raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant the Atheist cried out, 'Oh my God!' At that exact moment time stopped and the bear froze. As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky. 'You deny my existence, teach others I don't exist, and even credit creation to cosmic accident. Yet you expect me to help you out of this predicament?
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 and the sounds of the forest resumed. 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.
