I was stunned when I read it, but he asked me to pass it along. And I thought even though there are many here who are against the war I know they're not against the soldiers who risk their lives. So here goes. 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 a vowed 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 soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid shit and act like an Asshole. So, He sent me."
Umm much as appreciate the soldiers duty and the likelyhoog that a benign entity is helping them.... What does the story of someone asking for proof of god within 15 mins and someone punching him in the face before that time is out have to do with iraq, or soldiers...or for that matter, god?
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men. The Shadow knows! I don't know, Dan. He asked me to pass it along and I figured this place gets alot of readers, lurkers, and what have you. Soooooooo, I did.
I just thought it was funny. I mean come on the guy who knows nothing is going to happen when he challenges god in that way. Gets knocked out cold by someone. Something did happen just not quite what he thought would happen.
Leave it to these guys to crap on a laugh! He didn't really do it mikidan, it's a gag, a joke, a ... , ahh never mind.
That's the least funny joke I've ever heard, even keeping in mind that it's supposed to be just a joke. It sounds like it's almost trying to be one of those insightful little spams you get all the time, but instead of ending with some fluffy inanity it has the message of approving of assault in the name of God.
I'm not exactly known as a comedian. Although, I have illusions of being funny, my voice won't carry it off.
Sorry Pruf, I don't know how to explain it. But I can assure you this is the only time I've seen this dicected like this but considering the source of the badgering up there above you.... It's just a joke. The Marines are known as the hand of God in some circles. God sends in the Marines to do his work.
He probably got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from swho got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone who got it from someone who read this.
