Bear Joke I thought some of you bear hunters out there might like................. jd
>The Atheist and the Bear
>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 rolledover 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
>myGod!..."
>
>Time stopped.
>
>The bear froze.
>
>The forest was silent.
>
>As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of heaven,
>saying: "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 and for
>which I am truly thankful."
