An atheist was taking a walk 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 and 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 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 & raising his right paw to strike him. At that instant the Atheist cried out to the Lord. Time stopped, the bear froze, the forest was silent.
A bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky, "You deny myexistence for all of 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 as a Christian now, but perhaps could you
make the BEAR a Christian?"
"Very well," said the voice.
The light went out.
The sounds 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 through Christ our Lord,
Amen."

Wow. I've read this before and still think it's a funny & clever little story. However, it was obviously written by a Christian who was putting down Atheists. It doesn't mean God's gonna feed Atheists to Christian bears. It just means someone came up with a good story and blamed it on God. :)

This wasn't fun the first 40 times, what makes you think it's going to be funny when you tell it?
To be honest, it doesn't make sense. If it made sense it'd be funny but it doesn't. Why would he ask to make the bear a Christian? Seriously, does that make sense to you?

A little boy is sitting with a box of newborn kittens, when his local preacher walked by. The preacher stopped and asked the boy what he had in the box. The boy responded, "Christian kittens, sir." The preacher, proud of the boy walked on.
Two weeks later, the preacher walked by the boys house, where he was sitting with the kittens in their box. The preacher asked, "How are those christian kittens doing?" The boy says, "Oh, they're not christian kittens anymore, they're atheists now." The preacher, slightly amused, asks "And how do you know that they're atheists now?" The boy, looks in the box, then back to the preacher and says, "Well, their eyes are open now."

I heard it with Bigfoot instead of a bear.
I thought you didn't believe in me?
Well I didn't believe in Bigfoot 15 seconds ago!

Never seen this one before. I guess the best arguments you can come up with against us is just insulting jokes, but I don't blame you.
