THE ATHEIST

An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing

when suddenly his boat was attacked

by the Loch Ness monster.

In one easy flip, 
the beast tossed him and his boat

at least a hundred feet into the air.

The monster then opened its mouth

while waiting below to swallow man and boat. 

As the man sailed head over heels and

started to fall towards the open jaws of

the ferocious beast he cried out,

"Oh, my God! Help me!" 

Suddenly, the scene froze in place.

As the atheist hung in mid-air,

a booming voice came out of the clouds and said,

"I thought you didn't believe in Me!" 

"God, come on, give me a break!"

the man pleaded,

"Just seconds ago I didn't believe in the

Loch Ness monster either!" 

"Well," said God,

"now that you are a believer you must 
understand that I won't work miracles to

snatch you from certain death

in the jaws of the monster,

but I can change hearts.

What would you have me do?" 

The atheist thinks for a minute and then says,

"God, please have the Loch Ness Monster

believe in You also."

God replies,

"So be it." 

The scene starts in motion again with

the atheist falling towards the ravenous jaws

of the ferocious beast. 

Then the Loch Ness Monster folds

his claws together and says,

"Lord, bless this food

you have so graciously provided....."
