a Bear Joke for off white

[Scott_J]

As an atheist walked through the forest, he smiled at the beauty that

was all around him and said, "What natural wonders

the powers of evolution have created."

 

Just then he heard a rustling near the river. He went to investigate

and a 7-foot-tall grizzly bear was tearing down the

path towards him. The man took off like a shot, and when he got up

the courage to look back, he saw the bear was

catching up fast.

 

He tried with all his strength to pick up the pace, but he tripped and

crashed to the ground. As he tried to get up, the

bear jumped on his chest and picked up one paw to whack him.

The atheist screamed, "Oh my God!!!"

 

Time stopped! The bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river

stopped moving.

As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice boomed from the heavens,

"You deny my existence for all of these years,

teach others I don't exist, and even credit creation! on 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 as a

Christian now, but perhaps could you make the bear a Christian?"

 

"Very well," the voice said.

 

The light went out, the river ran again, and the sounds of the forest

resumed. And then the bear dropped its right paw,

brought both paws together, bowed its head and spoke:

 

"Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful."

Good one sisu. I'm sending that to some guys at work.

Thanks Sisu, I really needed a joke today.

 

Of course, no educated atheist would expect anything else from a christian bear, but its a great punchline. I've got another bear joke for you I'll write up a little later.
