Title: Marine Studies Post by tanner on Jan 16th, 2007, 5:26pm This is not an attempt to stir anyone up or put anyone down I just thought it to be an interesting story that didn't belong in the "Funnies" section. Marine Studies 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 and stunned and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, "What the hell 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 a--hole. So, He sent me." |

Title: Re: Marine Studies Post by floridian on Jan 16th, 2007, 9:14pm So is your hypothetical Marine the Christian equivalent of Hezbollah - the party of God? God is on our side, God said I could do something that is ordinarily not tolerated? They say there are no atheists in foxholes - yet soldiers on all all sides seem to get killed regardless of how much they pray, what language they pray in, or what name they have for God. God's existence remains a matter of faith. Foolish governments that start foolish wars are a proven fact. Trust in God, but send them better body armor. |

Title: Re: Marine Studies Post by zwibbs/Scott on Jan 17th, 2007, 5:20am Tim, There was absolutely nothing wrong with your post. Everyone is free to feel or believe what they want. It's the number one reason why America is a GREAT country. It is also the reason why other Countries hate us. They believe that you MUST believe what they tell you to believe in--or else they kill you. The story about the Marine was probably fabricated, but there are profs who have strange beliefs , and do make statements in class to stir contoversy and debate. To each his own. When I was involved in wartime--I prayed every minute of everyday because you're there to protect the freedom that AMERICANS can be free to believe !!! For anyone to be critical of that is just plain ridiculous ! |

Title: Re: Marine Studies Post by floridian on Jan 17th, 2007, 6:30am Tim - No, I don't know about your religious beliefs, only mine. For me, the idea that God is on our side generally borders on blasphemy, and routinely crosses into it. The use of magical thinking and conjuring up divine whisperings and blessings is tolerable when a co-worker explains that God told them to take next week off and drive to the city for a break, but dangerous when dealing with war. Isn't your post is really about a desire to punch out liberal atheists and members of the ACLU? Doesn't it use God and the Marine Corps as shield to express that desire, on the assumption that most people are too sheepish to oppose it for fear of being branded a traitor?? It relies on freedom of speech, but dreams of a day when that freedom is suspended and violence is used to put the liberals in their place. Jonny - you can label me 'patriotically incorrect' and suggest I leave this country. Sorry. I don't care about your labels - we obviously have a different definition of patriotism. Maybe since we just celebrated Martin Luther King day, we should discuss why that patriot said that America was 'the greatest purveyor of violence in the world' ?? Some people with patriotic feelings blind themselves to anything negative, while others recognize the problems and try to deal with them. No different from family - some kids refuse to recognize the flaws and faults of their parents, because they think that would go against the idea of loving their parents, or that their parents would stop loving them. And then they grow up, accept the fact that their parent is flawed, but still love them anyway. For the record, I'm a patriotic believer in God who doesn't believe that atheists should be stripped of their legal rights. Unlike some of the mullahs: Quote:

Title: Re: Marine Studies Post by seasonalboomer on Jan 17th, 2007, 7:04am That's a great story Tim. Reminiscent of the "lost at sea" story, where the guy on the lifeboat keeps praying for God to save him. A variety of humans and would be rescuers all try to help him, to which he shoo's off each attempt, claiming God will help him. He dies and gets to heaven to ask God why he didn't save him, and God tells him, "I sent two different ships and a helicopter, what more do you want?" Come on Flo, an ACLU card carrying, atheist, professor who flouts belief is a great foil for about any joke. If we reduce and disect all humor we'll only end up in a world where knock-knock jokes are high comedy. I know that someone from your side of aisle always trots out some tired Elie Wiesel about how "eventually they came for me", but not everything and everyone needs to be defended so vehemently. Humor is often the closest thing to love we have in this world. Scott |

A lot of wars have involved monumental mistakes, whether it is has been how they started or how they were wrongly strategized in the fighting. Despite either, Marines show their face. I saw the post by Tanner as the professor saying something which perhaps in real life wouldn't happen unless there was some real quick point to be made, and if there was, I wouldn't need to learn it. Continuing to wait for a response from God, well, I'd have stepped up verbally in the first minute to say make a quick point about this or start juggling while we're waiting, in all respect, of course. ::) In the depicted scenario, the Marine seems have took what the professor said to be perhaps deserving of deliverance in some fashion or form after having to wait out the ridiculousness of this 15 minutes, as I would have. In this case, in a Marine way, better to have it happen from him than from God, anyway. ;;D I haven't been a Marine, but if I knew that was going to part of class that day beforehand, would have been a better smartass for the entire 15 minutes. Isn't that what the professor was attempting? Sounds to me he was just begging for a lesson in how it's done. ;) |

And all at the same time because historically God’s big mistake is selecting only specific individuals to hear and pass on his/her/it’s word. Way too much is getting lost in the translation. This would… Save significant resources by requiring only one printed version of holy text, free up massive amounts of bandwidth on the web and significant storage space on servers around the globe. Significantly reduce the number of religious hacks we have to flip past on TV. Allow all true believers to pay their heavenly entry fees to the right ministry. Permit all gamblers to bet correctly on the outcome of all sporting events and allow top athletes to sleep better before the big event. Free up lots of real estate currently occupied by churches, temples, etc. of blasphemous religions. Eliminate waiting until the end of every war to find out which side God was really backing – surrender would occur prior to the start of armed conflict. Significantly increase government revenue through the collection of back-taxes from blasphemous religions. Eliminate the term “while my esteemed colleagues on the other side of the aisle” from politics. This will temporarily speed up/improve political decisions until career politicians find more creative ways to muck up the process. Well I know what I’m asking for in my next round of prayer. Tom |
