God's 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 heck 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 stuff and act like
an idiot. So, He sent me."
