An Atheist in the Woods
-
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 and 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 that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer. He tripped and fell on the ground, rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was 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 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 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 and spoke: 'For what I am about to receive, may the Lord make me truly thankful, Amen.'

Nah, we atheists never confuse a Christian with a good sort... :rolleyes:

Why would a god make him a christian? Any god that existed was around a long time before christianity. Surely a pagan would be more apposite, and therefore the bear would dance naked around a fire before having intercourse, the only way a human can get to paradise. (Ask my wife!)

I suspect when most people think of paradise, it does not involve you dancing naked around a fire!

This was obviously written by a Christian, an atheist would have asked the bear be converted to a religion that encourages vegetarianism!

A Hindu bear? or Jainism? Better Still, a Spectacled Bear from darkest Peru, known to only eat marmalade sandwiches.

Stupid Atheist. Instead he should just have rolled over and played dead!
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.
