This old story is a favorite of mine.
“A man was sitting in a bar declaring loudly that he didn’t believe in God. “Why not?” the bartender asked.
“I was on my dog sled, crossing the frozen Yukon, when a terrible storm came up. I completely lost my way. The dogs and I huddled together for warmth but soon all our food was gone. Day after day, I begged God to help me but nothing, only silence. I knew I was going to die.”
“But you’re here,” said the bartender. “God must have helped you.”
“What God?” said the man. “Some Eskimo came and showed me the way.”
It’s a humorous way to deliver the good news that even if you don’t believe in God, if you pray for help, you’ll still get it.
