Here’s a humorous nice illustration about an atheist (a person that does not believe on God) walking in the woods when suddenly a bear came out of no where to attack him.
Sometimes, we reject the existence of God until such time we come to the point where we don’t have any choice to believe in Him. The worst thing is, we wait for that moment where we suffer tremendous pain and feel no hope at all. But there is God. All we have to do is to believe. The sad part is, we always want to attribute incidents to our life as accidents and not by workings of the divine being.
May this story gives you a good laugh and bless you.

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 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

A nightmare for Richard Dawkins: statistics show that atheists are a dying breed [Excerpts]
An interesting article in the Guardian by philosopher Julian Baggini, which begins in cracking form: “I have one, and only one, firm and sincere desire about what quality my grandchildren should possess: non-existence.”
(http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief/2009/sep/18/children-philosophy-childless)
The central question he asks is this: “The issue for me is rather one about the possible forms of the good life. I just cannot understand why it is that the vast majority of people seem to think breeding is a vital component of a flourishing existence.”
Baggini is a prominent atheist and has written several books on the subject, including Atheism, A Very Short Introduction….
Data is rare in this area, but what they do have suggests that atheists are a dying breed. Austria is the only country which records the religious belief of parents but their figure, of 0.85 children per atheist woman, is far below replacement rate (2.1) and below even the most barren European country’s average rate, which is about 1.2. And since most people inherit their parents’ political and religious world views, this is bad news for Team Dawkins.
Personally I find the New Atheists’ anti-Christian aggression tedious: criticising people for their privately-held religious beliefs shows a lack of class and maturity, and besides which this sudden outpouring of bile against Christianity seems clearly motivated by a secret fear of another Abrahamic religion. But I wouldn’t want to live in a world without atheists – if I was Julian Baggini I’d be trying to get Guardian readers to breed more to ensure the world in 50 year’s time isn’t populated entirely by religious crackpots of various shades.
