A college professor, an avowed atheist, was teaching his class. He shocked several
of his students when he flatly stated he was going to prove there is 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 15 minutes!" The lecture room fell silent. You
could have heard a pin fall. Ten minutes went by. Again he taunted God, saying,
"Here I am, God. I'm still waiting."
His count-down got down to the last couple of minutes when a Marine just
released from active duty and newly registered in the class walked up to the
professor, hit him full force in the face, and sent him butt over tea-cups from
his lofty platform. The professor was out cold! At first the students were shocked
and babbled in confusion. The young Marine took a seat in the front row and sat
silent. The class fell silent...waiting. Eventually, the professor came to, shaken.
He looked at the young Marine in the front row. When the professor regained his
senses and could speak he asked: "What's the matter with you? Why did you do
that?" "God was busy. He sent me."
I pledge allegiance
to the Flag
of The United States of America
and to the Republic
for which it stands
One Nation,
Under God,
Indivisible,
with Liberty and Justice for all.
That's the way I learned it, that's the way I'll recite it till I die.
God Bless Our Troops! We Love You!
