* * * * 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 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.'

Nice and clean, just what I would expect from you.. I wonder if "those
folks" will be offended- Hide quoted text -

I'm not worried about anyone being offended with me. I look at it like
