Just a thought

[Tom Earp]

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 avid 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 shit and act like an asshole. ...
...........So, He sent me."
