I think I've seen this one before, but it's been a while. And it's just
as funny the second time around. Also "funny" is the fact that I don't
recognise the username of my "source" (though have some guesses), so
the "source" is likely to get his/her joke right back, contrary to my
usual practice.
From: B.B?
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 seven-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. The
atheist looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer.
He tripped and 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
its left paw and raising its right paw to strike him.
At that instant the atheist cried out, "Oh Dear God. Please Help Me!"
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 its right paw, brought both paws together, bowed its head, and
spoke, "Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy
bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen."
