God's Busy Right Now

A United States Marine who had completed many missions in Iraq and Afghanistan was taking some college courses between assignments. One of the soldier's courses had a professor who is a member of the ACLU and an avowed atheist.

One day the professor shocked the class. He walked into the classroom, looked to the ceiling and decisively 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 left his chair, went up to the professor and cold-cocked him; knocking him off the platform. With a single hit the professor was knocked unconscious.

The Marine went back to his seat and silently sat there. The other students were shocked and stunned. The students sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually regained consciousness, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, "What in the world is the matter with you? Why did you do that?"

The Marine calmly replied, "GOD was too busy today. He is busy protecting America's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So He sent me."

The classroom erupted in cheers!
