(12,693 posts)That story is as much proof of the superiority of god-fearing machismo and superficially-held Christian values as the one about the girl who proves Christianity by demonstrating that the atheist can't explain why sheep, cows, produce different poop when they all eat grass. Yeah that Grunt sure put that nazi socialist commie professor in his place!
GOD BLESS THE MOTHAFUCKN' USA!!!11!

Or is this satire for what passes for conservative humor? If it's the latter it's a win.

(26,494 posts)enrolled in class with with an elitist liberal professor who insults Jesus or some shit. Then the marine sets him straight. It's hilarious and like I said this is only slightly exaggerated (ok maybe more than a little but not by much).

Atheist vs. U.S. Marine? What do you think of the outcome?
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-****** 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!

This is an email someone sent me. I wanted opinions about the email itself. I didn't know anyone would be so lame as to personally attack me.

(1,078 posts)I assume you start out in the bush leagues for becoming a right wing hack, by writing many of these. Those that show talent move on to calling in liberal radio shows and trolling websites.
I can't tell you how much it annoys me that such obvious button pushing works on so many people.
Thanks for the reply.

(51 posts)I heard a variation on this nonsense, or actually a forerunner, back in 1954 when I was a freshman at Southern Methodist. Seems a Korean War vet with a limp from a wound had a class at the north end of the campus. His next class was at the other end of campus in a pre-fab or quonset. Only ten minutes between classes.
So the vet was always late to the second class.
The prissy - they used words like that then - teacher, no doubt a Democrat Jew, finally lost it after the Vet was late the 6th or 7th time. Interrupted the lecture. The teacher announced that in future he was locking the door after starting bell.
The next class day the Vet found the door locked. He backed up, took a little hop and skip and double drop-kicked the door down, landing on it in a standing position in the class center aisle. He pointed to the Prof and exclaimed:
Well, the reader can write it himself from here. Get in the part about a year and a half in the Korean mud,and the charge up Pork Chop Hill, and etc yadda yadda and he ISN'T taking any crap from a four eyed etc etc yadda yadda.
These Urban Legends never die. They just fester and change.
