An Atheist in the Woods

Some of you may have already heard this, but I always find it funny. 
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 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.”
