Christian Bears?

A man is walking in the woods, and suddenly comes upon a large black
bear. Both freeze for several seconds, and then the bear slowly
starts shuffling towards the man.

The man has been reading rec.backcountry, and knows that he must not
turn and run. Instead, he drops to his knees, and begins to pray
fervently: "Dear Lord, I entreat thee: please let this bear not be
hungry. Let him not consume my flesh ..." and so forth.

Suddenly, the bear also drops to his knees, folding his paws in
prayer. "Glory be," thinks the man. "A Christian bear. I have been
saved!"

Says the bear: "Dear Lord, thank you for this food of which I am about
to partake."
