An atheist was walking through the woods to bag a bear.
As he was winding down the mountain he rounded a bend in the trail and came face to face with the biggest he had ever seen. Startled, he started running down the mountain with the bear in close pursuit. Just when he was about to elude the bear, he tripped and fell helplessly down the trail, head over heels, he in one direction and his gun in another. Banged up and bleeding, all he could see was this bear getting closer, teeth gleaming, death was upon him.
At that instant
the Atheist went to his knees and cried out, "Oh my God!", Just at that very moment, the bear
slammed on the brakes and stopped just in front of the
Atheist.
Then 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 bear dropped to his knees and said, "Father please bless this food that you have so graciously provided."
