An atheist fell off a cliff.
As he tumbled downward, he managed to catch hold of a small shrub on the face of the cliff.
There he hung, between Life above and the rocks a thousand feet below, knowing that he cannot hold on for much longer.
Then a idea came to him "God" he shouted with all his might.
Silence. No one responded.
"God", he shouted again "If you exist, save me and I promise, I shall believe in you and teach all others to believe in you also."
"That's what they all say, when they are in a mess", came a Voice.
Relived, the shrub branches had started slipping, the atheist shouted "No God, I am not like the others. Why, I have already started to believe, don't you see, after
having heard your Voice. Now all you have to do is to save me and I will proclaim your name to the ends of the earth."
"Okey dokey" said the Voice, "I shall save you. Let go of that branch"
"Let go of the branch" yelled the distraught man, "Are you crazy? Or do you think I am crazy?
It is said that when Moses threw his wand into the Red Sea, the expected miracle did not take place.
It was only when the first man threw himself into the sea, that the waves parted.
