THE ATHEIST AND THE BEAR
An Atheist was taking a walk throught the woods.
"What majestic trees! What powerful river!
What beautiful animals!" he said to himself.
As he was walking alongside the river he heard
a rustling in the bush behind him. He turned to look.
He saw a 7 foot grizzly charging towards him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path.
He looked over his shoulder and saw
that the bear was closing in on him.
He looked over his shoulder again,
and the bear was even closer.
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 right on top of him,
reaching for him with his left paw
and raising his right paw to strike him.
At that instant the Atheist cried out:
"Oh my God!"
Time stopped.
The forest fell silent.
As a bright light shone upon the man,
a voice came out of the sky:
"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 believer now,
but perhaps could you make the BEAR a believer?"
"Very well," said the voice.
The light went out.
The sounds of the forest resumed.
Then the Bear dropped his right paw,
brought both paws together and bowed
his head and spoke:
"God, bless this food which I am about to
receive and for which I am truly thankful."
