Don’t tempt if you don’t know
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.'
