God Was Busy
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 troops who are protecting your
right to say stupid things and act like an
ass.................
So, He sent me."
