Marines
There are two things Marines are always taught:
1. Keep your priorities in order.
2. Know when to act without hesitation.
A college professor, avowed atheist and active member of the A.C.L.U., was teaching his college course. He shocked several of his students when he flatly stated that once and for all he was going to prove that there was no God. Addressing the ceiling he shouted: “GOD, if you are real, then knock me off this platform!!! I’ll give you exactly 15 minutes!!!!” The lecture room fell silent. You could here a pin drop. Ten minutes went by. “I’m waiting God, if you’re real, knock me off this platform!!!” Again, after four minutes, the professor taunted God saying, “Here I am, God!! I’m still waiting!!!”
His count got down to the last couple of seconds when a Marine, who was just released from the Corp, after serving in Afghanistan and Iraq, and who had newly registered for the class, walked up to the professor. The Marine hit him full force in the face. This sent the professor tumbling from his platform. The professor was out cold. The students were stunned and shocked . They began to babble in confusion. The Marine nonchalantly took his seat in the front row and sat in silence. The class looked at him and fell silent also… waiting. Eventually the professor came to and was noticeably shaken. He looked at the Marine in the front row. When the professor regained his senses and could speak, he asked “What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?”
The Marine said “God was really busy protecting America’s soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid things and act like an ass. So…He sent me.”

Speaking as an atheist, evangelical atheists get on my nerves.

Heard you the first time promethea! ;)
That's a great item. Watch for that one to start circulating via "must-forward" e-mails. (Sent it to some of my ex-military buddies myself).
This is my favorite Bull Shit Marine Story. And why is this bull shit? Let’s look at the reality of it. Part of the oath that those of us who have served is to ‘protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America from enemies foreign and domestic..”
So what if the college professor is an Atheist? His rights are no less than the most devout Theist’s in this country. And which “God” is he talking about Who would command him to act with violence? So what if he was an active member of the A.C.L.U? This is the mission statement of the American Civil Liberties Union:
The ACLU is our nation's guardian of liberty, working daily in courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and laws of the United States guarantee everyone in this country.
These rights include:
• Your First Amendment rights - freedom of speech, association and assembly; freedom of the press, and freedom of religion.
• Your right to equal protection under the law - protection against unlawful discrimination.
• Your right to due process - fair treatment by the government whenever the loss of your liberty or property is at stake.
• Your right to privacy - freedom from unwarranted government intrusion into your personal and private affairs.
And what exactly was the course that the professor was teaching? Any hint that his oratory may have been a point stressed in the curriculum?
So how many Constitutional Rights has the recalcitrant marine violated by battering his professor?
Here’s the real end of the story: “Upon witnessing the assault on his professor by the marine, a Constitutional Law student quickly dialed 911 to summon medical help and police to the scene to aid and protect the battered professor. As the Oath Breaking Marine was led out of the classroom in handcuffs, the last thing the students heard were the police reciting “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say may be held against you in a Court of Law.” One of the rights guaranteed to every US citizen by the constitution this psychotic marine violated.
I must assume that this Rah-Rah BS Story was more than likely authored by some Christian Right, which is neither, Bush advocate who never served in the Armed Forces, never attended college and is utterly ignorant of our rights as Americans under the Constitution. I took that vow and I stand true to it this day.
That's awesome! That marine spoke the truth, athiest's think there so intelligent, the truth is that they have no concept that of which they speak. Those who have been given the platform to inform and educate our people who have lost all contact with the reality of a liviing god and his living word, I pray for there souls on the day of judgment.
Timothy the Atheist says: Feck you Anonymous at 12:34 PM - Why? Because you're pathetic. Why? This: "Those who have been given the platform to inform and educate our people who have lost all contact with the reality of a liviing god and his living word" <-- You self-righteous judgmental sheep. Reality is the science that gives you the car you drive, the delivery of your paycheck by use of electronics (as if you weren't aware science created that technology that allows checks to be printed and cashed) and the reality is that MAN made this world great. Not your false God. Science made the light bulb that lights my way. When God creates the flying car I'll be impressed but my guess is Man will win that race too. When you die you'll find nothing. Even if there was a God, you'd be rejected for failing to abide by the simple command of not to judge others. *clap*
