A college professor at the University of Colorado, an avowed atheist and
active in the ACLU, was teaching his class. He shocked several of his
students when he flatly stated that for once and for all he was going to
prove there was 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 exactly
15 minutes!!!!!"
The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes
went by. I'm waiting God, if you're real knock me off this platform!!!!"
Again after 5 minutes, the professor taunted God saying, "Here I am, God!!!
I'm still waiting!!!"
His count down got down to the last couple of minutes when a Ranger,
just released from the Army after serving in Afghanistan and Iraq and newly
registered in the class, walked up to the Professor.
The Ranger hit him full force in the face, and sent the Professor
tumbling from his lofty platform. The Professor was out cold!! The students
were stunned and shocked. They began to babble in confusion. The Ranger
nonchalantly took his seat in the front row and sat silent.
The class looked at him and fell silent.....waiting. Eventually, the
professor came to and was noticeably shaken. He looked at the Ranger in the
front row. When the professor regained his senses and could speak he
asked:
"What the hell is the matter with you?! Why did you do that!?"
The Ranger said, "God was really busy protecting America's soldiers,
who are protecting your right to say stupid **** and act like an asshole!!!
So He sent me!!"
