Atheist

[Guest High Plains Drifter]

Sourced from - effortless.

 

An atheist was walking through 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 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.'

As a true atheist I would have uttered one word "Sh-t" and the bear would have said "I won't eat that"
