With this being Good Friday and Easter this Sunday just thougth I would repost : The Atheist and the Bear
An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that the "accident of evolution" had created. "What majestic trees! What pwoerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he said to himself.
As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bush behind him. As 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 the bear was closing in on him. He tried to run even faster, so scared that tears were coming to his eyes. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. His heart was pumping frantically as he tried to run faster yet. But he tripped and fell to the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up and saw the bear right on top of him, raising a huge paw to kill him. At that instant he cried out, "Oh My God!"
Just then, time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. The river even stopped moving. A bright light shone upon the man, and a voice from the sky said "You deny me existence all these years, teach others that I don't exist, and even credit my creation to a "cosmic accident", and now you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a Believer?"
The atheist, ever so proud, looked into the light and said, "It would be rather hypocritical to ask to be a Christian after all these years, but could you make the bear a Christian?"
"Very Well", said the Voice. As the light went out, the river ran, and the sounds of the forest continued. The bear put its paw down. The bear then brought both paws together, lowerd its head and said,

"Lord, I thank you for this food which I am about to receive."
Hope you have a great Good Friday!
