Subject: 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. He saw a 7-foot grizzly charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder & saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder again, & the bear was even closer. He tripped & fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw & 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 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 & spoke: "Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen."

I've seen this a few times, but I do think it's pretty funny, and I am atheist myself. The only time it's not funny is when it's emailed by someone who's made it clear that they have no respect for your views as an atheist, and it comes across as passive aggressive self-righteousness. If it's from a religious person that I'm friendly with I don't mind sharing a laugh.

Actually RobinJ this is the first time iam coming across this post,its great.So the atheist gets eaten in the end after all that running..too bad.If he had asked God to help him,he would have and the bear would have left without touching a single hair on his head.It is funny but the reality is that no matter who you are,where you're from,what you've been through,God is always ready to answer our call...

lol My niece claims to be an athiest on her mypace,although after a discussion with her I found out the she meant she's agnostic. I think a lot of folks get the two confused. Anyway, I think I need to let her see this one!
