What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!”, he said to himself. Suddenly, he heard a rustling in the bushes and behind him he saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charging towards him. He ran as fast as he could along the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing on him! And then he tripped and fell.
Rolling over, he found the bear was right on top of him and in an instant the atheist cried out, “Oh my God!” Time stopped ...The bear froze...The forest was silent ...A bright light shone upon the man and a voice came out of the sky, " Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? You have denied my existence for all these years. You teach others that I don't exist and even credit Creation to a cosmic accident!”
The atheist looked directly into the light and said, “It would be hypocritical of me to ask you to treat me as a believer now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christian?" A pause ... "Very well," said the voice and the light went dark. The sounds of the forest returned, and the bear dropped his raised arms, brought both paws together, bowed his head and spoke. "Lord, bless this food, which I am about to receive. Amen."
