God's Been A L'il Busy....

United States Marine from the deep

south was attending some college
courses between assignments.
He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, unscathed .
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, 'G-d, 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, heavy with the challenge.
You could hear a pin drop.
Ten minutes went by and the
professor proclaimed, 'Here I am G-d. I'm still
waiting.' Uneasiness in the room built...

It got down to the last couple of minutes when the
Marine got out of his chair, stepped up to the professor,
and with due precision,cold-cocked him; knocking him off the platform.
The professor was out cold but relatively unharmed so the Marine went back to
his seat in what could only be described as true military

bearing and sat down, silently, unabashed.
The other students were shocked and stunned and sat
there looking on in silence, unsure of what to do.

The professor came to, noticeably shaken, but relatively

unharmed, looked at the Marine and asked, 'What the heck is the
matter with you? Why did you do that?'

The Marine stood at the ready and calmly replied,

'G-d was a l'il busy today protecting soldiers

like me who are protecting your ignorant
right to stand around and make such a

mockery of our fine educational process.
So, with all due respect, if He had shown up

Himself I seriously doubt you'd still be

here to appreciate it and what

would any of us learned from that?

You did specify to Him, 'to be knocked from the platform'

did you not? He sent me to safely clarify the matter to you, Sir'

For once, the professor had no argument

and everyone agreed that that in itself

was a miracle.

Hoo-rah
