Atheist joke.
Edited on Fri May-07-04 01:15 PM by RebelOne
I'm sure a lot of you have seen this joke before, but here it is for those who haven't.

An atheist was taking a walk through the woods. "What majestic
trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he said to
himself. As he continued walking alongside the river, he heard a
rustling in the bushes. Turning to look, he saw a 7-foot grizzly bear
charging towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path.

Looking over his shoulder he saw that the bear was closing in on him.
His heart was pumping frantically, and he tried to run even faster.

Suddenly, he tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick
himself up but saw the bear raising his paw to take a swipe at him.
At that instant, the athiest cried out,"Oh my God!" Time stopped. The
bear froze. The forest was silent.

Just then, a bright light shone upon the man, and a voice came out of
the sky saying, "You deny my existence for all these years, teach
others I don't exist and even credit creation to a 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 and said, "Indeed, it would
be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask you to treat me as a Christian
now, but perhaps, could you make the BEAR a Christian?" "Very well,"
said the voice.

The light went out. The sounds of the forest resumed. And then the
bear lowered his paw, bowed his head, and spoke. "Lord, bless this
food which I am about to receive and for which I am truly thankful."

1. "Atheist joke" slightly modified into a TRUE atheist joke:
An atheist was taking a walk through the woods. "What majestic
trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!" he said to
himself. As he continued walking alongside the river, he heard a
rustling in the bushes. Turning to look, he saw a 7-foot grizzly bear
charging towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path.

Looking over his shoulder he saw that the bear was closing in on him.
His heart was pumping frantically, and he tried to run even faster.

Suddenly, he tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick
himself up but saw the bear raising his paw to take a swipe at him.
At that instant, the athiest cried out,"Oh my God!" Time stopped. The
bear froze. The forest was silent...

Then the bear ate him.

The End (of everything)


There, now that is more believable!

4. Aren't jokes supposed to be funny?
Merely insulting someone based on a misunderstanding of their beliefs doesn't qualify as humor, does it? Unless it's also funny.

6. Another one...
Old Spanish Communist joke.

Lenin in Hell

After Lenin dies he is sent to hell. Only a few days after he arrives, he's causing problems. He's giving speeches inciting the lower-level demons to rebel against Satan, and he has convinced the brimstone workers to go on strike.

Satan is very worried, so he concots a nefarious plan-- send Lenin to Heaven and make him God's problem. He goes to the Pearly Gates and says to Saint Peter: "Hey, Saint Pete, I think you guys made a mistake, I got this guy Lenin down here and he's a really good guy, quiet, responsible, loyal, really nice, gets along well with others. So I'm thinking there was a paperwork issue and he got sent to Hell when he was really supposed to go to Heaven". St. Peter says, "Well mistakes do happen, send him up". So Satan sends Lenin up to Heaven, then he returns to Hell laughing maniacally at the trouble he knows Lenin will cause God.

Well several weeks pass, and still no reports of disruptions in Heaven. Amazed, Satan returns to the Pearly Gates to inquire, "Hey, St. Pete, what ever happened to that Lenin guy?" St. Peter says, "Oh right, he's just as you said Satan, really great guy". Incredulous, Satan asks "Well, what does God think of him?" Peter replies "God? God does not exist, comrade."
