i just read this in trap & trail,,the person who wrote it was Pete Ellsworth from ID..well here it is::
An atheist was taking a walk through the woods. "What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he siad to himself
As he was walking outside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He was a huge 7 foot tall bear charging 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. His haert was pumping frantically and he tried to run even faster.
He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear 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 our: "Oh My God!......."
Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest went silent.
As a bright light shone upon the man, a vocie 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 an a Christian now, but perhaps could you make the BEAR a christian?"
"Very well," said the voice. The lights went out. The sound of the forest resumed.
And then the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together and bowed his head and spoke:
"Lord Bless this food which I am about to receive and for which I am truly thankful."
