Atheist In The Woods
Apr 8, 2014 17:39:44 #
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.'

Good joke but need some clarification: Atheist are not teaching that god doesn't exist. I consider myself an atheist and I don't have any interest in convince anyone that they may be out of order with their belief. I respect what you believe and by the same token I should be respected. I say this because it is common being in a group of religious people that will look at you as an alien when you admit you do not believe. I am talking from personal experiences.....This reaction do not occur when the case is reversed.

Yeah? the teaching atheism part WTF? doesn't really add to the story? Only Christians and Moslems really care what going on in other people's heads re:god/creation/life/nature/universe
