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. The monster then opened its mouth while waiting
below to swallow man and boat. 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. 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
and 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 ferocious
beast. Then the Loch Ness Monster folds his claws together and says,
"Lord, bless this food You have so graciously provided....."
