Hello God!

As some of you may know, I post at the Save the Wren Cross Blog. I receive e-mails from folks working to restore the Wren Cross to its place behind the altar in the Wren Chapel at the College of William and Mary. For more information, see Save the Wren Cross. The following is an e-mail I received. I was not asked to post it but it just somehow fits in my blog and it also shows the marked difference in attitude and courage between our elected "leaders" and the men and women who defend our great nation. So in tribute the all of them in all of the branches of the service - here's to you - smile and pass it on... Subject: Hello God! 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 a vowed 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 shit and act like an asshole. So, He sent me." KEEP IT GOING............. Ooh rah!

This "Hello God" thing sounds like a grudge piece concocted by someone who doesn't like professors, atheists or members of the ACLU.

I teach college courses. The military men and women I have had in my classes are hard working and respectful. A member of the military would be too smart and disciplined to assault a teacher.

The whole situation created here is unrealistic.

I know it's unrealistic; ain't it great? Lighten up. Just the idea of our Marines being messengers makes me smile. Lord love them. They are the ones who storm those beaches and fight the enemy so our leftists can have their freedoms to teach and "hijack" our campuses for the liberal left. I have taught in a university as well as serve as the Director of New and Special Program Develop plus administer several grants. Our military men and women are much more disciplined and polite than many professors deserve.

I don't know who wrote "Hello God" but while you are seeing it as a "grudge" piece, I submit we could stand more respect and discipline from our "professors".

Good luck in your efforts. In the little piece, the professor was arrogantly slamming and mocking the religion of most of his students - personally, I'm glad he was decked. One could say the Marine was only following orders????

I hope you are a good teacher who is balanced and would yourself not so brazenly mock the religion of those in the class.

We do need good teachers at all levels. You have a difficult but very rewarding job - it is more a job of love and dedication. I think we can agree.
