You think you just got a problem and you got a devil. You think you just got a headache and you got a devil. You think you just got a problem with your bank account and you got a devil. You think you've got a problem with your temper and you've got a devil. You think you've got a problem with depression and you've got a devil.

The Atheist

kent submitted: "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 charging towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing in on him. He looked over his shoulder again and saw that the bear was even closer.
Then 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 and raising his right paw to strike him. At that instant the atheist cried: "Oh my God! . . . "
Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came from the sky saying:
"You deny my existence for all 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 you could make the bear a Christian?"
"Very well," said the voice.
The light went out. The sound of the forest resumed. And then the bear dropped his right paw, brought both paws together, bowed his head, and spoke: "Lord, bless this food which I am about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord. Amen."

Very funny, indeed.

lol, very good -- like the atheist who had a "christian funeral" just in case ;)
Seriously though, I should imagine that what most so-called atheists are actually rejecting is in reality a caricature of God that Christendom has portrayed i.e., a wrathful and vengeful God.

(User Info | Send a Message) | AAHH yes siree. I would say, "Tastes like chicken."
"WARNING-- JOKE AHEAD"
Reminds me of the time... that our wise leaders in Jefferson City in the land of Misery (Missouri), decided that the fastest and cheapest way to raise the Education level of Missouaa AND Arkansas was to cut off the boot heel of Missouri and give it to Arkansas. Arkansas refused the kindly justure by saying that if that happened then Federal and Foriegn Aid would most likely be reduced by the same percentage and they would not be able to live on the reduction.
"WARNING, IF THIS WAS REALLY TRUE, THEN MISSOURI WOULD ANNEX ALL OF ARKANSAS AND NOT JUST THE LITTLE PIECE THAT WE HAD WANTED"
Because we like Foriegn aid, too. :)
This was a Joke. Les |
