God is Eveywhere

A Marine was attending a college course between missions in Iraq and
Afghanistan. The professor, an avowed atheist, shocked the class one day
when he walked in, looked toward the ceiling, and said loudly, "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 and the professor began his lecture. Ten
minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am God - still
waiting."

It got down to the last minute when the Marine stood up, walked toward the
professor and threw his best punch knocking him off the platform and out
cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat down.

The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in
silence. The professor came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine
and asked, "What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you did that?"

The Marine calmly replied, "God is busy today protecting America's
soldiers who are protecting your right to behave like an idiot and say
stupid stuff. So He sent me."
