One of my best friends sent this to me today. I really liked it a lot. I am not one for the jokes, chain letters, and things that everyone forwards. But this one was different for me.
A United States Marine, who had completed missions in Iraq and
Afghanistan, was attending some college courses between assignments. 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 socked him hard, 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. He 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 busy today protecting America's
soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like a
fool. So He sent me."
