"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine... (Proverbs 17:22)."
THE ATHEIST AND THE BEAR!
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 was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes
behind him. He turned to look. He saw a afoot grizzly charge towards
him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and
saw that the bear was closing. He ran even faster, so scared that tears
were coming to his eyes. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear
was even closer. His heart was pumping frantically and he tried to run
even faster. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick
himself up 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 instant the Atheist cried out "Oh my God!...."
Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
Even the river stopped moving.
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 his predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"
The atheist looked directly into the light, and said, "it would be
hypocritical to ask me to be a Christian after all these years, but
perhaps could you make the bear a Christian?"
"Very well," said the voice.
The light went out.
The river ran again.
And the sounds of the forest resumed.
And then 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."
