The Bear and the Atheist
An atheist was walking through the woods, admiring all that the "Accident of evolution" had created. "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. Turning around 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 grizzly was closing in on him. Somehow he ran even faster, so scared that tears came to his eyes. He looked again and the bear was even closer. His heart was pounding and he tried to run even faster. He tripped and fell to the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but the bear was right over him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.
At that moment the atheist cried "OH, GOD!!!!!!!"
Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
Even the river had stopped moving.
As a bright light shone down upon the man, a voice came out of the sky, "You deny my existence for all these years, teach others not to believe, and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Yet now you call to me and expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"
The atheist looked directly into the light, "I am a man of principle and it would be hypocritical to become a Christian and ask for your help after all these years....but perhaps you could make the bear a Christian?" "Very well" said the voice.
The light went out.
The river ran.
The sounds of the forest resumed.
And then the bear dropped his right paw.....Brought both paws together.....bowed his hear and spoke: "Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful....."
