One Nation Under God
A college professor, an avowed Atheist, was teaching his class. He shocked
several of his students when he flatly stated that there is no God, the
expression, "One Nation Under God," was unconstitutional, and
further, he was going to
prove there is no God. Addressing the ceiling he shouted:
"God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform.
I'll give you 15 minutes!"
The lecture room fell silent. You could have heard a pin fall. Ten minutes
went by. Again he taunted God, saying, "Here I am, God. I'm still
waiting".
His countdown got down to the last couple of minutes when a Marine just
released from active duty and newly registered in the class walked up to the
professor, hit him full force in the face, and sent him ass over teacups
from his lofty platform. The professor was out cold! At first the students were
shocked and babbled in confusion.
The young Marine took a seat in the front row and sat silent. The class fell
silent...waiting.
Eventually, the professor came to, shaken. He looked at the young Marine in
the front row. When he regained his senses and could speak he yelled,
"What's the matter with you? Why did you do that?"
The Marine calmly replied "God was busy. He sent me".
