    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 that a 7-foot grizzly was
    charging toward 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 to the ground. He rolled
    over to pick himself up, but saw that the bear was right on top of him,
    reaching
    for him with its left paw and raising its 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 and said, "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:
    "Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy bounty
    through Christ our Lord. Amen."
