The Atheist in the Woods...too funny not to share :)

An atheist was walking through the woods.
'What majestic trees!
'What powerful riv
ers!
'What beautiful an
imals!
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 si
lent.

As a
bright light s
hone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky.

'You deny my existence for all these years, teach others I don't exi
st 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.'
