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 a vowed 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 b ack 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 shit and act like an asshole. So, He sent me."
