A United States Marine was attending some college
courses between assignments. He had completed
missions in Iraq and Afghanistan .. One of the
courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist
and a member of the ACLU.
One day the professor shocked the class when he came
in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated,
"God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me
off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15
minutes."
The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin
drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor
proclaimed, "Here I am God. I'm still waiting."
It got down to the last couple of minutes when the
Marine got out of his chair, went up to the
professor, and cold-cocked him knocking him off the
platform. The professor was out cold. The Marine
went back to his seat and sat there, silently.
The other students were shocked and stunned and sat
there looking on in silence. The professor
eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the
Marine and asked, "What the hell is the matter with
you? Why did you do that?"
The Marine calmly replied, "God was too busy today
protecting America 's soldiers who are protecting
your right to say stupid ##### and act like an
#####................So, He sent me."
