In other news....
An athiest was taking a walk through the valley of shadow of death woods. My, what majestic trees! What beautiful animals! What powerful rivers! He said to himself.
As he was walking alongside a powerful river he heard a loud rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a seven foot grizzly bear charge toward him.
He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked back and saw the bear was closing. He looked again. The bear was even closer. In fear mode his legs failed; he tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up, but the bear was now on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.
The athiest cried out: "Oh my God!" Immediately time stopped, the bear froze, the forest and river went silent. A bright light shone on the athiest, and a voice came out of the sky: "You deny my existence all these years, teach others I don't exist, even credit what I created and made to cosmic accident. And now you cry out to me, expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to now count you as a believer?"
The athiest looked into the bright light and said: "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian believer now, but perhaps you could grant me a wish: make the bear a Christian instead". "Very well", said the skyward voice. The bright light went out. The sounds of the forest and river resumed.
The bear dropped his right paw about to strike, brought both paws together, bowed his head to the ground, and spoke these words: "Lord, Bless this food I am about to eat, having received it from thy bounty through Christ Jesus the lord. Amen.".

Ah, don't worry about Jon. I got quite the kick out of Jon observing that the bear could talk, but not observing that the bear worships, acknowledges his Creator, or that time stopped.
Nope, it was simply talking animals: gotta be proof that no God exists!

Animals talk all the time without need of a god or of a lame story--- parrots can copy sometimes hundreds of words from their human keepers. Joe |

Yes, I know  Elephants make me wonder just how intelligent wild animals are. They "speak" in a pitch so low that humans can't hear it. They're also the most altruistic animal on the planet. Anyway.... not trying to hijack the thread. One lame story begets another. |

At least this (former) catholic preist quit because he wants to have a relationship with a grown, warm-blooded, adult women and not a little boy. Joe Baseless attack, asserting that all Catholic priests are pedophiles (obviously not true). Why is this a story? If the priest could not keep his vow (the priesthood is totally voluntary, as is the vow of celibacy, mind you), he could have, should have, and did, simply quit. Why is this a story, and why, Joey, do you take the opportunity to bash the Church and Christianity? |

It's a joke about atheist, for God's sake. you know where to put that pill, Mike, make a joke about religion and it's an attack, make a joke on athiests and we aren't allowed to respond? typical hypocrisy. I don't see you telling Brad to take a pill, he's all upset that Joe has mentioned a news article which he perceives as an attack on Christianity. the article I read said there were parishioners of this guy relieved that it was just a woman |

Most specifically, the last five words of the sentence: "....and not a little boy." Not an attack on Christians, Christianity, and the Catholic Church? B.S. By the way, Jon, find me when I have ever, ever, EVER attacked atheism -- EVER. Find it. I dare you. |

As with many people in this world, while I do not agree with the way JoeyD said it, I agree with his right to say it. After all, with the press the way it is (or seems to be) every little thing which goes wrong and the press does not agree with. You will see it repeated for a week. Sometimes as an always breaking news story.
As for the joke on atheists, I saw the humor in it. But have trouble understanding why some might see it as an attack. But no matter, for if it had happen (no atheists in foxholes) it just shows you how little people think about what they say.
