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,
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 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 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,
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,
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,"
"Very Well,"
said the voice.
The light went out.
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,
"Lord bless this food,
which I am about to receive from
thy bounty
through Christ our Lord,
Amen."
