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-conked 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.'
Race the car three races. If you don't like it , for
any reason, return it, without damage, and we'll
refund all your money, build you a new car, or better
yet, bring me someone else's design and I'll use that
to build your next ride!

Thanks for reminding me to renew my ACLU membership. Without the ACLU we might not even have free speaking discussion forums such as this one that you posted your joke on. I love the fact that we can speak our minds freely in the company of differing opinions, America is great.
Cheers!

The only protection needed for this Atheist was the M-16A2 rifle, The Beretta M-9 pistol and the M-870 Shotgun.
Depending on what ammo I could get, I would bust the M-203 Grenade Launcher out from time-to-time.
Always felt quite safe with the kid behind the Mk-19 Automatic Grenade Launcher on the few times it had my back.
Depending on which foreign country I was stationed, the book telling of christian stories was more offensive than a firearm.
