God is busy.
God's Busy
A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.
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 minutes.' 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 Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him, knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.
The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked, stunned, and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, 'What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?' The Marine calmly replied, 'God was too busy today protecting American soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me.'
And all God's people said -- AMEN! (followed by UP YOUR'S PAL)
If this offends anyone, tough.

Re: God is busy.
Is God busy protecting the Americans in Afghanistan because when it was decision time about going to war in the first place, God was too busy picking his backside instead of paying attention to what was going on down here?
If this offends anyone, tough.

Re: God is busy.
Is it just me or is there something ridiculously ironic in people (in this case athiests) using an unproven story to try to discredit something which they maintain to be just that?

And all the "if this offends anyone, tough" messages and joke pictures of bibles in this thread are "more" examples of the intolerance of atheism.

Re: God is busy.
It is though a fictional story, is out on the internet in various disguises, last time I heard it it wasn't a marine and a lecturer

I can well believe that its nothing more than an urban legend with many guises and rightly should be in the humour thread.
