Atheist and the bear
An atheist man decides to go for a walk in the woods.
He comes to a clearing and this big grizzly bear in the centre
of the clearing takes one look at him and rushes over about to
pounce.

The atheist cries out "GOD HELP ME" and there is a beam of
light and God appears next to him.
"What can I do for you?" God says.
"That big bear looks like he is going to kill and eat me."
"If you become a Christian I will save you" says God.
"It's awfully tempting but it would mean going against all I
believe in" says the atheist.
"Sorry I cannot save you then, but you can have one wish."
The atheist ponders briefly and says "Make the bear a
Christian then".
"Very well" says God and disappears.

The bear says "For what we are about to receive may the Lord
make us truly grateful"
