God is busy!

If you don't know God don't make stupid remarks!!!!

A US 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 at 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 heck 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 an idiot. "So he sent me."

Not really funny to me, but I don't care it's just a joke. :)

[hot-rauder]

+1 on the mysterious ways

[SHERIFF]

Sounds like a true story to me. :D

[Leadfoot281]

At least the Marine didn't saw the mans head off.

[Aren Jay]

Not to mention the marine is now out of work and out of school.

[Blk Mamba]

A true Marine is never out of work!!!

[Motorhead350]

....nevermind...

Isn't this why we don't discuss politics and religion on a car forum?

I'll agree with you on that. I can't wait to get out of college my mind needs a rest. ;)

[sailsmen]

I am very offended that God's stand in did not finish his work by hitting the college professor a second time to knock some sense into him.

[Aren Jay]

Hahaha the Marine worked for me, he just lied about it.

[magindat]

Hey now... I'm not really sure if there is God. I'm definately not religious. I thank soldier folks for allowing me that freedom of choice.

The lesson here, is to not 'beat people over the head' with one's own beliefs. It's not that the professor deserved it because he was atheist any more than any of you God fearing folk deserve to be knocked out for your beliefs.

The reason he deserved to be knocked out was for inflicting his beliefs on a relatively captive audience. That's not cool.

One does not have to acknowledge God in order to be spiritual and just...

[Haggis]

I say the Marine did a good job, that professor was being a pompous A$$!

[Mike Poore]

Having your beliefs is one thing; but standing up and saying "I dare you" is a good way to get your ass kicked. ;)

[magindat]

Yeah, that's what I meant!!!!

Yes, that is so true. There is always someone that will take you up on it.

...or in this case "Marine"...

Just a joke, though...right?

JWM

[Blk Mamba]

If it were a story, I would have put it in the stories forum. The basic sense is all true, just small details are changed. It happened in the 70's at a political rally.

[DOOM]

Bet the professor wont try that again.
