An Extension of God
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 crap and
act like an jack-ass.............So, He sent me."
