Fwd: God was busy -
A young Canadian paratrooper was taking some college courses between
assignments. He had completed 3 tours of duty in Afghanistan. One of
the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of
the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA).
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 min."
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 soldier got out of
his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him
clean off the platform.
The professor was down & out cold.
The young soldier 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
soldier and asked,
"What in the world is the matter with you? Why did you do that?"
The young soldier stood up and calmly replied,
"GOD was too busy today protecting soldiers, who are protecting your
right to say stupid shit and act like an idiot. So He sent me."
The classroom erupted in cheers!
