One day an atheist decided to take a short cut in the woods
going home. It was a very pretty day; birds were singing and
flying, the brook was burbling, and wild flowers were
everywhere. Just then he saw the bushes move. It was a bear.
He ran as fast as he could and faster still. Then he tripped
and fell on a log. By then the bear was right over him about
to strike. The atheist yelled out"Oh my God." Just then the birds froze, suspended in mid-air, the brook stopped burbling, and it got quiet. Then God showed up and said "Tell me, why should I save you? You teach people to not believe in Me." Then the atheist yelled out "well, at least make the
bear a christian." Then God said "Oh, all right." Then the
birds were flying again and the brook was burbling. The bear
was about to strike then stopped, stood up on his hinds,
bowed his head and said "Lord, I thank Thee for this food I'm
about to eat."
