AN ATHEIST IN THE WOODS

An atheist was walking through the woods and said to himself,

"What majestic trees!"

"What powerful rivers!"

"What beautiful animals!"

As he walked alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind

him. He turned to look and saw a 7-foot grizzly charge 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. He

tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw

that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for hi m 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 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 and said, "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.

T he sounds of the forest resumed.

The bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head,

and spoke:

"Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through

Christ our Lord, Amen."
