The Bear & The Athiest

[phjrsaunt]

An atheist was walking through the woods... when he stopped and
thought:
"What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!"
Then, as he was walking along the river, he heard a rustling in the
bushes behind him. He turned to look and saw a 7-foot grizzly 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 ran faster when he
looked over his shoulder again, and saw that 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!"
Time Stopped!
The bear froze...
And 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... and try to teach others I
don't exist... and even credit creation to a cosmic accident? Do you
Expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to now count you as a
believer?"
The atheist looked directly into the light, "Well, 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 God.
The light went out.
The sounds of the forest resumed...
And 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 through Christ our Lord, Amen."
