Someone on my Myspace friends list posted this as a bulletin. I should note that this is the same person that has lots of gay friends and hates homosexuality. :confused:

You've all probably seen this before, but damn, it still makes me angry. :mad:

If you don't know GOD, don't make stupid remarks!!!!!!!

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 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 heck 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 stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me."

THIS IS GOOD, KEEP IT GOING!!!!

I love how the disclaimer is that anyone who's not down with G-O-D just won't get it. Also, violence is a good way to get your point across. And don't forget that challenging God is stupid and makes you look like an idiot.

In that case, Satan is also busy and I am here to do his will.

These stupid anti-intellectual and anti-university strawmen are retarded. It just shows the level of argument these nuts have.

He must have missed the part where this "marine" is arrested for assault and dishonorably discharged for the felony he just committed, had entire life savings sued out from under his ass by the professor for the medical costs and pain and suffering...but then god will fix everything...oops, he's to busy, nevermind.

I though God was oviviparous? Err, omnislipery? Oh, sc**w, omnisomething or other? Such He could do many things at once? Could he not take off from killing babies in Africa with AIDS for a minute or two to slug a professor? :boggled:

Thanks for the link. I read a shorter version of this argument a while ago. Although I think I was too busy rolling my eyes in order to finish it.

Just like the flu, herpes, and lice, this marine and professor story keeps returning. Here's the thread (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=92583)I started last year on the same topic. You'll probably see it again.

Here's another one of those "Christians are better than you (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=119561)" emails that float around every now and then. Enjoy.
