GOD............. and the atheist

An atheist was taking a walk through the woods. "What majestic trees!
What powerful rivers!

What beautiful animals!" he said to himself.
As he continued walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in
the bushes. Turning to look, he saw a 7 foot grizzly charging
towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. Looking over
his shoulder he saw that the bear was closing in on him. His heart
was pumping frantically and he tried to run even faster. He tripped
and fell on the ground.
He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear raising his paw
to take a swipe at him.



At that instant the atheist cried out: "Oh my God!..."

Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.



It was then that bright light shone upon the man and a voice came

out of the sky saying: "You deny my existence for all of these
years, teach others I don't exist and even credit creation to a
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, could you make the BEAR a Christian?
"Very well," said the voice.

The light went out.

And the sounds of the forest resumed.
And then the bear lowered his paw, bowed his head and spoke,



"Lord, bless this food which I am about to receive and for which I am
truly thankful."
