'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 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'? 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

I had to laugh, it was pretty funny and appropriate for a religion as it got the the core of it all. The threat of worshiping a deity and the salvation if believed in. Pretty hilarious if you ask me and sad too. Its another faerie tale, a funny one but nothing redeeming about it at all. Now if I as an atheist told a story about a christian in a similar situation would you all be so relaxed about it? I say fear not for your repressive god will not harm you since he is not real, only a figment of your imaginations

I'm not a 'believer', but it amused me.
Religious jokes are funny too.
They're only unfunny when they incite hatred, or are propagandist, that sort of thing.
