beargonewild -> AN ATHEIST IN THE WOODS (9/2/2009 10:50:20 AM)
|
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.'
