I got this email forward awhile back so i thought i would share it with ya'll. Two things to preface the tale:
>
> Navy SEALS are always taught
>
> 1) Keep your priorities in order and
>
> 2) Know when to act without hesitation.
>
> A Navy SEAL 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 he
> shocked the class when he came in, 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' still waiting."
>
> It got down to the last couple of minutes when
> the SEAL 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 SEAL
> 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 SEAL and asked, "What the hell
> is the matter with you? Why did you did that?"
>
> The SEAL calmly replied, "God was too busy today
> protecting America's soldiers who are protecting your
> right to say stupid shit and act like an asshole. So
> He sent me."
