The Atheist

[kiwitt]

An atheist was taking a walk through the woods. "What Majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself.

As he continued walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes. Turning to look, he saw a 7-foot grizzly charging towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. Looking over his shoulder, he saw that the bear was closing in on him. 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 raising his paw to take a swipe at him.

At that instant, the atheist cried out: "Oh my God!..."

Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent.

It was then that bright light shone upon the man and a voice came out of the sky saying:

"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 and said, "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps, could you make the BEAR a Christian?"

"Very well," said the voice.

The light went out. And the sounds of the forest resumed.

And then the bear lowered his paw, bowed his head and spoke,

"Lord, bless this food which I am about to receive and for which I am truly thankful."

Perhaps the bear would have also accused his dinner of being a baby-murdering leftist socialist? And that we should all pray in schools? And that God is on Americas side? And that if his dinner didn't vote Republican, he would eat him more slowly?

LMAO!!! The bear is a Christian.
Where would it go? Bear heaven?

What if the atheist had a huge knife and when the bear was praying he stabs the bear in the heart and then has his way with the corpse?

you need something better than a big knife to kill a bear.

Thank you all for the attacks on Christianity

I rather like the story myself. And GC, I don't know if a person could out run a bear. It seems to me the bear should be able to catch up to the nincompoop pretty quick.

Divinus Arma, I think the bear would only eat more slowly to enjoy the flavor. I mean, if you're dead, you're dead right?

Edit: D'oh, I did not finish this silly thing the first time.

This proves how "tolerant' the left really is. I thank god most of you aren't americans we dont need more people with your attitudes here.

nice story, except the stuff with the lights never happens, whether the victim (or meal) is christian, jew, atheist or muslim.
