Marines and their fight for our freedom

God Told Me To

A marine was attending a college course between missions in Iraq and afghanistan.  The professor, an avowed atheist, shocked the class one day when he walked in, looked toward the ceiling, and said loudly, "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 and the professor began his lecture.  Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, �Here I am God � still waiting.�

It got down to the last minute when the Marine stood up, walked toward the professor and threw his best punch knocking him off the platform.  The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence.  The professor 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 is busy today protecting America�s soldiers  who are protecting your right to behave like an idiot and say stupid stuff.....so He sent me!�

I suppose there are people who presume to know the mind of God, but I would not ever be so arrogant.  Those who are, well, they make me giggle sometimes.  Other times they just make me sad.

Lol, now that is funny! I wonder how many times God must shake his head and sigh over all the idiot things said to him? Lol

Remember Madelyn Murray O'Hare? Read her son's book some time. His name is Bill Murray. It's called "My life without God". He talks about what it was like growing up with the world's most famous atheist. One time his mom had gone out in a bad thunderstorm and challenged God to strike her dead if he was real. She came back in with a grin and told him "See, I told you there is no God!" I'm thinking, "Yes, there is. He's just extremely patient!"
Oh, and God has a definite sense of humor because Bill Murray, the son of the world's most famous atheist, became a born again Christian and is now trying to undo all the damage his mother did. Talk about ironic! God takes the son of the world's most famous atheist! I love it!
