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 card carrying 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 of this platform. I will 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 am still waiting."
It came 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 of the platform. The Professor was out cold. The Marine went back and took his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned, sitting there looking on in silence.
Eventually the Professor came to. Noticeably shaken, he looked at the Marine and asked, "what the hell is the matter with you? Why did you do that?"
Calmly, the Marine replied, "God was to busy today protecting the American troops who are protecting your right to say stupid shit and act like an asshole... So he sent me."
