An atheist is hiking in the woods when suddenly a huge bear pops out from behind a bush.
Right as the bear is about to attack, time freezes and god appears.
God says, “you have spent your whole life as an atheist. But if you finally believe in me and become a Christian I will stop the bear from eating you.”
The man say, “that’s really nice of you, but I don’t really believe in a higher power.”
God: “all you have to do is believe your eyes and accept me in your heart.”
Man: “That’s just to hard for me to do. I mean science has already answered how we came about through evolution. Not only that, but with all the bad things happening in the world right now, it’s just too difficult to believe that there is a god. I’m sorry but I just can’t do it.”
God: “Are you sure? I will give you one more opportunity to believe in me.”
Man: “As I said, not thanks.”
God: “Ok you have made your choice…”
Man: “Wait… how about you make the bear a Christian instead? And then he will have morals.”
God: “Very well.”
After God left, time restarted.
The bear suddenly stopped and the man started to believe that his plan to save himself had worked.
The bear knelt down.
Bear: “Thank you god for this meal I am about to receive.”
