AN ATHEIST IN THE WOODS
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 moment, 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. 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.'
