An atheist was walking through the
woods one day, admiring all that evolution had created. “What majestic
trees! What a powerful river! What beautiful animals!” he said to himself.
As he was walking alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind
him. Turning to look, he saw a 13-foot Grizzly bear beginning to charge towards
him. He ran as fast as he could down the path. He looked over his shoulder and
saw that the bear was rapidly closing on him. Somehow, he ran even faster, so
scared that tears came to his eyes. He looked again and the bear was even
closer. His heart pounded in his chest. He tried to run faster, but he tripped
and fell to the ground. As he rolled over to pick himself up, the bear was
right over him, reaching for him with its left paw and raising its right paw to
strike him.
“OH MY GOD! …”
Time stopped…The bear froze…The forest was
silent…Even the river stopped moving .
As a brilliant light shone upon the man, a
thunderous voice came from all around…
“YOU DENY MY EXISTENCE FOR ALL THESE
YEARS, TEACH OTHERS THAT I DON’T EXIST AND EVEN CREDIT CREATION TO SOME COSMIC
ACCIDENT. DO YOU EXPECT ME TO HELP YOU OUT OF THIS PREDICAMENT? AM I TO COUNT
YOU AS A BELIEVER?”
As difficult as it was, the atheist looked
directly into the light and said, “It would be hypocritical to ask to be a
Christian after all these years, but perhaps you could make the bear a
Christian?”
“VERY WELL,” said God.
The light went out…The river ran…The sounds of
the forest resumed… and the bear dropped down on his knees, brought both paws
together, bowed his head and spoke: “Lord, thank you for this food which I
am about to receive.”
