A United States Marine was taking some college courses between
assignments. He had completed 8 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 min."
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 in the world 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 s--- and act
like an idiot. So He sent me."
The classroom erupted in cheers!
