It feels good every time I read this story.
The Marine - God Bless America
** 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 drop. 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 tumbling
**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?"
*
**"God was busy. He sent me."

**God Bless America
