Man meets bear in woods.
Tuesday, November 6, 2007 by Philly0381 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Sometime these cute little stories come along your way. I'm not trying to make a statement here, but I'm sure there is a moral to this.
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 bear 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."
Makes you want to stop and think, hmmm.

Man and a bear - not bad. How about a bear and a rabbit? Read on...
There's a bear and a rabbit side by side in the woods having a crap. The bear turns to the rabbit and says " hey rabbit, does the crap stick to your fur? ". "Yeah, it does" replies the rabbit, to which the bear picks up the rabbit and wipes his backside with it...
