The Atheist and the Shark
Once there was an atheist out swimming in the ocean. All of a sudden he saw a shark in the water, so he started swiming towards his boat.
As he looked back he saw the shark turn and head towards him. His boat was quite a ways off, so he started swimming like crazy. He was scared to death and as he turned and saw the jaws of the great white beast open, the atheist screamed, "Oh God! Save me!"
In an instant time stood still and a bright light shown down from above. The swimmer, motionless in the water, heard the voice of God say, "You are an atheist. Why do you call upon me when you do not believe in me?"
Aghast with confusion and knowing he couldn't lie, the man replied, "Well, it's true I don't believe in you, but how about the shark? Can you make the shark believe in you?"
The Lord replied, "As you wish," and the light retracted back into the heavens and the man could feel the water begin to move once again.
As the atheist turned to look back he saw the jaws of the shark start to close down on him, then all of a sudden the shark stopped and pulled back.
Shocked, the man looked at the shark as the huge beast closed its eyes and bowed its head and said, "Thank you Lord for this food which I am about to receive...."
