An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that the "accident of evolution" had created. What majestic trees! what powerful Rivers! what beautiful animals he said to himself.
As he walked along side the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7 ft grizzly bear charge him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path . he looked over his shoulder and saw the bear was even closer. He ran even faster , he was so scared tears were coming to his eyes. he looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer. His heart was pumping frantically as he tried to run even faster.
He tripped and fell to the ground. he rolled over and tried to pick himself up and 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 moment the atheist cried out "Oh my God!" Time stopped. the bear was froze. Even the river stopped flowing.
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 Christian now but perhaps you could make the bear a Christian?"
"Very well," The voice said
The light went out .The river flowed, and the sounds of the forest returned. and the bear dropped his right paw ,brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke. "LORD FOR THIS FOOD WHICH I AM ABOUT TO RECEIVE I AM TRULY THANKFUL AMEN."
