[TRCFR] Fw: Atheist Taking a walk....

[TRCFR]

An atheist was taking a walk 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
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 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.

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 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 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 dropped his right paw, brought
both paws together and bowed his head and spoke:

"Lord, Bless this food which I am about to receive.
