"God Is Busy"A United States Marine was attending some college courses betweenassignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan . One of the courseshad a professor who was a devout atheist and a member of the ACLU .One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked tothe ceiling and flatly stated, 'God, if you are real, then I want youto knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes.' Thelecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, 'Here I am God. I'mstill waiting.' It got down to the last couple of minutes when theMarine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cockedhim, knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The otherstudents were shocked, stunned, and sat there looking on in silence.The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at theMarine and asked, 'What the heck is the matter with you? Why did youdo that?' The Marine calmly replied, 'God was too busy todayprotecting American soldiers who are protecting your right to saystupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me.'THIS IS GOOD. KEEP IT GOING.
no, in fact i understood the point. "We don't like people saying bad things about God." Not much to miss. There is, in fact, a lot that can be done in fixing the image of christian conservatives as quick to claim persecution or, heaven forbid, fantasize about violence. But then, it's always easier to level accusations or imagine difficult scenarios ended with a quick, unironic punch then to foster discussion.
I can't fathom that this actually happened. Even still, fantasizing about punching atheists is pretty disgusting. And believing that God's will involves having American servicemen attacking American civilians is, bluntly, ignorant.
