Most people know that atheists don’t believe in God or any higher power. They can’t explain how Earth was created, but are steadfast in their opposition to religion.

Well, one joke hilariously explains what happens when an atheist is confronted by a bear in the woods, and needs some God!

An Atheist Is Confronted By A Bear In The Woods!

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 charging towards him.

He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw the bear was closing in on him. He 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 the bear was 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 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 a cosmic accident. Do you really expect me to help you out of this predicament?”

The atheist looked directly into the light, and said, “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 and spoke:

“Lord bless this food for which I am about to receive from Thy bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen.”

This joke is too funny! The atheist made a big mistake when he sought God’s help when confronted by a bear. I am going to share this story with all of my atheist friends.
