Once a upon a time there was a man who fell over the edge of a cliff. But as he was falling, by a stroke of luck, the man managed to get hold of the out-sticking roots of a tree trunk. And there he was, dangling in the air with nobody up there to help him and hundreds of metres down only a bottom of rock. In his desperate situation he began to pray:
"God, oh God, help me!"
And God replied "Yes, here I am. What can I do for you?"
"O God, please help me, save me please!"
"All right!" said God, "but first I have a question to ask. Do you really believe in me?"
"O yes, Lord, yes of course! Why else should I pray? You are my saviour, you are my rock, you are my rescue!"
"All right!" said God, "In that case I will save you... Well then, LET GO!!"
"What do you mean 'Let Go!'" said the man.
"Well, let go!" said God, "Don't worry. I will carry you all the way. but I cannot help you if you do not let go."
Then the man cried out: "Is there not another saviour up there?"
A free-thinker once said to a catholic: "The saving power of your Jesus Christ has failed. The world is still the same." Whereupon the catholic replied: "No, it is much and much worse. Until now Christ's saving power has not even been tried."
"God, oh God, help me!"
