Subject: [QUAD-L] Is there a God?
MARINES are always taught:
1) Keep your priorities in order - and
2) Know when to act without hesitation.
A 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 he
shocked the class when he came in, 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 soldiers who are
protecting your right to Say stupid shit and act like an asshole. So He
sent me.
UUhraaaah! (Marine lingo for Right On)
