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.
A 7-foot grizzly bear charging towards him.
The man 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 the bear was
even closer. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled
over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was right on
top of him, reaching for him with his left 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 expect me to help you out of
this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"
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 & spoke:
"Lord bless this food, which I am about to receive from thy
bounty through Christ our Lord, Amen."
"The Orthodox Church is evangelical, but not Protestant. It is orthodox, but not Jewish. It is catholic, but not Roman. It isn't non-denominational - it is pre-denominational. It has believed, taught, preserved, defended and died for the Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost 2000 years ago."
