An atheist in the woods
AN ATHEIST IN THE WOODS
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. He 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 looked over his shoulder again, & the bear was even closer. He tripped & fell on the ground. He then rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear was 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, '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 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 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..... __________________

It was funny, but being atheist doesn't mean that you teach others not to believe also.

That was a great story CC. Thats what you call binevolent justice. The athiest died just as he thought he would. Alone with no-one to help him.

Like I said CC that was a great "story". Most stories are fictional but are meant to convey a message. Was that your intention?

Great joke.
And yes, atheists do try to teach others not to believe just as hard if not harder then then the theists. Just look at all the crap they're pulling here in the states of forcing the government to remove anything and everything that even hints at god from everything in the states. Can't have a moment of silent prayer in school, want "Under God" removed from the pledge and our money, hell I'm sure they're trying to have it removed from the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. |

I think the intention was to make us chuckle. Worked for me! Jokes don't have to have a message, and certainly don't have to be truthful.
Except for blonde jokes.

And let me play "devil's advocate" for a moment. What if it reads instead: "One nation under Allah" and "In Allah we trust"? If you don't believe in Allah, you would likely say something about it, and I would support your right and freedom to say it. So atheists don't believe in God; if there is a God, God will judge them. It is not for a mere mortal to judge another in divine matters. But here on Earth, in the United States, they have this right as much as you do, and I would support their freedom as I would support yours. Anyway, as both CC and Alex say, it is only a joke. Though I might add that jokes sometimes do have a point, and the point in this joke, as I read it, factoring in the responses, is that atheists like Ayer, A.J. Bakunin, Mikhail Bradlaugh, Charles Carnap, Rudolf Clifford, William K. Comte, Auguste Darrow, Clarence Dewey, John Ellis, Albert Feuerbach, Ludwig Andreas Foote, George William Freud, Sigmund Gibbon, Edward Goldman, Emma Haldeman-Julius, Emanuel Holbach, Paul Henri Holyoake, George Jacob Hook, Sidney Hume, David Huxley, Thomas Henry Ingersoll, Robert Green Lewis, Joseph Marx, Karl McCabe, Joseph Martin Mencken, Henry Louis Nietzsche, Friedrich Paine, Thomas Rand, Ayn Robertson, John Mackinnon Russell, Bertrand Sagan, Carl Sanger, Margaret Sartre, Jean-Paul are not afraid of dying alone. |

Knowing CC, his intention is to make us laugh, pure and simple, with no moral-of-the-story attached. Regardless of religious content, it is really a very funny joke. But CC, for fairness, tell another one that is at the expense of theists, will you?

I actually didn't understand the joke and was hoping that all the intellects would decifer the meaning for me.
Anyways, I did get a reaction.

If my forefathers had believed and used the name Allah, and formed this nation under those ideals, THEN YES I WOULD SUPPORT IT. It's the foundation of what this nation was built on and I will respect the founders belief's. The ideals of those quotes you mentioned were to allow anyone to speak freely and worship as they wish. The core of the founders were Christian and formed things upon those belief's. They put those ideas in the papers to allow others to practice their religion without persecution unlike how things were in Europe. Yes they used those terms and those belief's but did not enforce them as the whole beliefs of all people within the country. This country runs on majority vote and according to the latest numbers at least 83% of the US is Christian. However we as a country are constantly bending over backwards to make things easier for the minorities while ignoring the wishes of the majority.
Sorry for the thread jacking, I'm done. Still love the joke btw. |

Obama told the Middle East that we aren't a nation of Christians and that if you added up the population of each religions, we were actually a nation of Muslims.
Although, I never talk religion or politics.
