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.
It then opened it's
mouth waiting below to swallow them both.
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 and as the
atheist
hung in midair 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 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 monster.
The Loch Ness
Monster folds his claws together and says, "Lord, bless this food You have
so graciously provided....."
