An Atheist was walking through the woods on one lovely day, admiring the diversity and beauty
that evolution provided.
"What majestic trees, what powerful rivers, what beautiful animals", he said to himself.
As he was walking along the side of a river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him and when 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 and saw that the Bear was closing in on him, he looked over his shoulder again, and he saw that the Bear was even closer; he tripped and fell to 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 and raising his right paw to strike.
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 a Atheist, he heard a loud and Mighty Voice out of the sky,
"You deny my existence for all these years, you teach others I don't exist, and even credit my 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 for me to ask you to treat me as a Christian now, but perhaps you can make the Bear a Christian?".
"Very well", said the Mighty Voice.
The light went out, the sounds of the forest resumed and the Bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws up together, bowed his head and spoke,
"Lord bless this food for which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen".
