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 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!
