My Cousin I thought you guys would enjoy it. I some times wish I could have punched some of my professors at Eugene like this guy did, I can completely relate.


GOD Is Busy

If you don't know GOD, don't make stupid remarks!!!!!!

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 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 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 and stunned, and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, 'What in the world is the matter with you? 'Why did you do that?'

The Marine calmly replied, 'GOD was too busy today protecting America 's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So He sent me.'

The classroom erupted in cheers!

And they all lived happily ever after.

The moral of the story is if people don't have the same beliefs as you they are "stupid and acting like idiots" so punch them in the face. Solid christian message.

That is correct.

I also would have accepted, "just because people don't have the same beliefs as you does not mean you need to openly mock them with idiotic challenges."

Unless the room is filled with democrats, then you get tenure

Violence is still worse than boorishness in my book but

little sympathy for the dude

I call shenanigans however - the ACLU addition is the tipoff

This never really happened

Funny, if some proffessor called on muhammed to do the same with a couple of muslims in his class,

he woulda been forced tp publicly appologize and attend sensitivity training.

LOL @ this thread.

So inspiring.


GTFO

lol. BURN!



No shit. It's a pathetic excuse for a pscho christian fairy tale. The saddest part is that I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who actually believe it. I don't understand people.

that inspired me so much i just cured cancer and wrote a christianity for dummies book.

He said they were stupid idiots.... not retarded morons.

Gawd... I thought of Hussein Obama immediately when I read this.

I think I've lost 5 IQ points reading this thread...

Well you're still thinking so at least 80 more to go

You...think that the Marine in the story was supposed to be a muslim? I...what?

Dude, the "Hussein" thing isn't funny or controversial...it just makes you look kind of like an idiot. Just saying, in case the Ann Coulters of the world have made you think otherwise.

Nooo... nothing to do with the Marine... what you said.
" The saddest part is that I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who actually believe it. I don't understand people"


Hussein is his name.... Why does that make me look like an idiot to refer to a guy by his name?

fwiw it makes you look even worse to pretend you don't know why.

but back to this story, I think it is deep commentary on the psychological impact of war. i mean, how can we train these guys to shoot at everything that moves and then expect them to sit peacefully in a classroom and listen to beliefs that differ from their own?

does that kind of argument work on the retards you know in real life?

Wow that was a good one... got me there.



All the Bush haters referred to him as "W" but if you call Obama "Hussein".... you're an idiot.


That's funny.

fwiw.... you obviously never served.

To imply that soldiers are nothing more than trained killers and can not distinguish between facing an enemy in war and behaving properly in public settings makes you look pretty bad, sir.

you've got to be playing dumb here.

I don't do e-fights anymore.... is that seriously your response?


You're too easy.

unfortunately I don't do e-fights either. hollywood, I was being sarcastic about the psychological impact of war. it was a joke. you kinda ruined the joke by making me say that, though.

i really have a hard time believing you don't see the difference between calling bush 'W' and calling obama 'hussein'. please don't make me explain it?

Seriously...please do explain it.

But don't just that people referred to him by "W" to distinguish him from his dad.

people called Bush W because his father has the same name and he's not a junior
they call Obama Hussein because they want to imply he's related to Saddam

if you don't know that you're stupider than the silly story that started this thread

btw - why didn't God look after Pat Tillman? Maybe he's not so omnipotant

Yea...I'm the stupider one here...lol

scott stunt man roland is one smart motherfucker.

Thanks


How's work going?

i wouldnt call satisfying your wife and daughters work, but it is my job.

So childish..... sad


You chose poorly

isnt that what we're doing in here? i mean, i just assumed after all your ignorant nonsense.

First, 'hussein' is not obama's nickname. People don't actually call him by that name to be friendly or display affection. If you are looking for a corresponding chummy nickname for Obama similar to "dubya" you'd probably call him Barry. The intention behind calling attention to his middle name is pretty much always to make him sound muslim or to invoke the negative associations with that name in general (see saddam hussein for example). You actually called him "Hussein Obama" which is a pretty strange way to refer to someone - with their middle name and last name only. I do not believe that you are unaware of the negative associations with that name.

The nickname 'W' for GWB was a friendly nickname, and probably did arise to distinguish him from his father of the same name. The letter W is not associated with any particularly hated world dictator (except maybe Bush himeself!) and is therefore not usually used to associate bush with something negative.

i cant believe you typed that out. guy is either a complete and total moron, or enjoys acting like one on the internet. he isnt worthy of a serious response.

I didn't name him Hussein... it came from his grandfather.

The name Hussein means "good" or "handsome one." It is common in Muslim cultures for children to have a middle name which directly connects them to their father or grandfather.


I just prefer to call him by that name.

You can call me Michael if you want.

i asked him not to make me type it out. the consequences of his trolling will weigh on his soul.

Oh noes !


Sorry I made you type it out.... I really didn't think you would.

I expected less...

My opinion has changed of you now.

I actually like you now... even respect you as much as one can respect a forum poster without actually meeting them.

The "meaning" of the name in muslim culture has nothing to do with the meaning it invokes when used here. Are you going to put swastikas all over your car too because they are an ancient hindu symbol of peace?

I said you win !

boy have you lost your mind cause i'll help you find it.

HAHAHAHAH

I think the funniest part, the part that some may have caught but not mentioned, was that the guy was, indeed, knowcked off his platform, but not the way he was expecting. OK, OK, so people got that, but it's maximum irony that he was knocked off by violence (Lord knows that Christians eschew violence) and not gently manoeuvered off by the platform collapsing or something.

It's a good joke, but they left out the part where the Marine was held accountable for his actions and sent to Gitmo.

I actually like the implication by the marine that "god" has a limited capacity to perform on any given day. He was "too busy" protecting the soldiers in Iraq to knock this professor off his stand. He was just so consumed with that particular region of the world that all else went untended to. It's like god is George Bush!

Christianity teaches that the Church is the body of Christ. If God was going to knock this professor off his platform, then that is probably how he would do so. On earth it is the Christians job to do Christs work. So it seems in this case the Marine was acting as God's fist. The professor was asking for violence to be acted out upon him, was he not?



I know this didn't really happen, but for the story to be told without mentioning that God works through Christians is dissappointing.

So "God" approves of violence against non-believers? Sounds like "God" is a little insecure.

Well, of course God is insecure... ever seen Mt Everestt? God's totally overcompensating....

Wow, that email really inspired me to.... I don't know....hate atheists..... join the marines..... cancel my membership to the ACLU..... punch more people.....?

(Seriously, though, we all agree that the ACLU is a pretty fantastic organization and those that criticize it are looking for a weak excuse at a scapegoat, right?)

If by fantastic you mean a bunch of lawyers that created a law that forces the government to pay thier full legal bills for any case they bring against them as long as it has anything to do with civil rights, then began making some of the most ridiculous claims in order to force the government to pay them...then I guess fantatic would be a word you could use.

If by fantastic you mean cool, then not so much

And if by fantastic you mean not child molestors themselves...then I think the Virginia ACLU would change the subject

cue Catholic priest reference

Hate the game, not the player, BG.

all of us with above average intelligence can agree, yes.

Yeah, we probably can't agree on this, unless fantastic can mean corrupt.
