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 its mouth waiting below to swallow them both. As the man fell head over heels 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 thought for a minute then said, "God, please have the Loch Ness Monster believe in You also." And God replied, "So be it."

The scene started in motion again with the Atheist falling towards the ravenous jaws of the monster. As the man fell, he saw the monster fold his claws together and heard him say: "Lord, bless this food You have so graciously provided....."
