An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that
the "accident's of evolution" had created.
"What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!"
he said to himself. As he walked
alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him.
As he turned to look, he saw a 7 foot grizzly charge towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder
& saw the bear closing in on him.
He tried to run even faster, so scared that tears were coming to
his eyes. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even
closer. His heart was pumping frantically as he tried to run even
faster, but he tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to
pick himself up and saw the bear right on top of him raising his
paw to kill him. At that instant he cried out "Oh my God!"
Just then, time stopped...
The bear froze; the forest was silent; the river even stopped moving.
A bright light shone upon the man, and a voice came out of the sky
saying... "You deny my existence all of these years; teach others
I don't exist; even credit my creation to a cosmic accident, and
now do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to
count you as a believer?"
The atheist, ever so proud, looked into the light and said... "It
would be rather hypocritical to ask to be a Christian after all
these years, but could you make the bear a Christian?"
"Very well," said the voice. As the light went out, the river
ran, and thesounds of the forest continued, the bear put his paw
down. The bear then brought both paws together... bowed his head
and said... "Lord, I thank you for this food, which I am about
to receive."  |
