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."
