Navy Seals...........
 
Two things Navy SEALS are taught:*


*1. Keep your priorities in order.

2. Know when to act without hesitation.


A college professor, an avowed atheist and active in the ACLU, was
teaching his class. He shocked several of his students when he flatly
stated for once and for all he was going to prove there was no God.
Addressing the ceiling he shouted: *

*"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. "I'm waiting God. If you're real, knock me off this platform!"
*
*Again after 5 minutes, the professor taunted God, saying, "Here I am,

God!!! I'm still waiting!" His count down got down to the last
couple of minutes when a SEAL, just released from the Navy after
serving in Afghanistan and Iraq and newly registered in the class,
walked up to the Professor. *

*The SEAL hit him full force in the face, and sent the Professor
tumbling from his lofty platform. *

*The Professor was out cold!! The students were stunned and shocked.

They began to babble in confusion. The SEAL nonchalantly took his seat in
the front row and sat silent. The class looked at him and fell
silent...waiting. *

*Eventually, the professor came to and was noticeably shaken. He looked at
the SEAL in the front row. When the professor regained his senses and
could speak he asked: "What the hell is the matter with you? Why did you
do that?" *

*The SEAL replied: "God was really busy watching over
America's soldiers, who are protecting your right to say stupid sh*t
and act like an as*hole!!! *

*So He told me to take care of it

Both a Vet and and an atheist here.We are once again dying because "god"(allah) has told a bunch of whack-jobs its OK.

Religion(god) is responsible for all death and destruction on this planet.To deny that is simply foolish.

Remove the idea of god from peoples' minds and the world would truly be Peaceful for the first time.

Religion is MAN MADE.
I am neither Christian, nor Jewish, nor Muslim, nor of any other man made relgion. I have no religion, but I DO have a God.

Relgion is for people who are afraid of going to hell. God and spirituality are for people who have already been there.

and by the way....Athiests don't "Hate" god...they just don't beleive in him.

Skip N 11-16-2005 12:12 PM

"and by the way....Athiests don't "Hate" god...they just don't beleive in him"

Truthfully i really dont care what they believe. Thats thier belief and i should respect that. But what ticks me off is how so many of them try to tear down any mention of God in the US. Remove the mention of God from Buldings, Money, The Pledge and no Xmas. That is extreme in my opinion and is not what this country was founded on. They just flip out and call any church goer and Extremist and a nut. If your an Athiest thst fine and thats your belief...Just dont try and tear down this countrys tradition and history with God becuase you dont like it.

spence 11-16-2005 12:15 PM

Skip, the number of people who really feel it's important to remove all references to God in our government is limited to a very small handfull of the population.

You're watching too much FOX News :doh:

If you really believe that you are the one being foolish. Stalin was an atheist and killed millions. The tutsis who carved up a million hutus didn't profess to be doin it in the name of any god. Neither the First or second world wars had any religious overtones, unless you count the fact that hitler killed thousands of people simply because they believed in "the one whose name cannot be spoken." But if you think that all "death and destruction" is religiously motivated you had better go back a re-read your history books.

Religous Crusades
 
What about the crusades? Are you saying no one died in the named of someone else Gods wrath during those skirmishes? I wonder what would have happened in europe if Hitler wasn't killing every Jewish person he coud get his hands on. Maybe we would have let the war in Europe run its course and we could have just fought the heathens from across the Pacific. Would we have become involved at all?

Of course being a Jew is not just a religon its also a culture, heritage and since 1967 sinai war being a jew is someone who comes from Israel.

Many if not most of the people Stalin the athiest killed he did so because they did believe in a god and did belong to a religon, and were diametrically opposed to his beliefs, which would make thier deaths associated just a bit to religon.

Swimmer 11-16-2005 12:57 PM

I think this notion is legally, morally, ethically, spiritually, physically, positively, absolutely undeniably and reliably not true!

Sorry, the OZ was on last night :o

But seriously, Stalin was an athiest...but I don't believe history shows this was a driving force behind his bad behavior.

macojoe 11-16-2005 01:19 PM

Gee, I just thought it was a funny story!! Never meant to start a RELIGIOUS WAR!!!

People get all worked up for nothing!! No wonder we are all screwed up!!

The Dad Fisherman 11-16-2005 01:47 PM

The actual bottom line that war is started for is....Stuff (Money, Land, Oil, Chickens)

It doesn't matter what They just want your stuff. They conquer you and take your stuff.

In the crusades they conquer you and make you believe in Christ....so That way the Church can take all your stuff.

The revolutionary war we wanted to keep our stuff and the british wanted their stuff back.

World War II Hitler wanted everybody's stuff.

The civil war the south didn't want to free their stuff (slaves were property so technically they're stuff)

The trojan war someone wanted to get themselves a peice of someone else's Stuff.

It all boils down to either trying to keep your stuff or having someone else trying to take your stuff.

Its just that sometimes religion is a convenient excuse....

Actually, the main goal of the crusades was to take back territory, and plunder riches. When the Crusaders got to a given city and attacked it, they killed everybody, including fellow Christians because those particular Christians had a stake in the land, gold, and other riches that the Crusaders were after.

So this means that they were killed in the name of NOT having a god, which would make this particular atheist just as guilty as people who supposedly kill in the name of some god. Does this mean that all atheists are bad?
And from what I understand, Stalin killed all those people because he viewed them as political subversives who wanted to turn Russia facist or capatalist and challenge his power.

To address your first misguided statement.They don't claim god has told them its OK they BELIEVE god has told them its OK.

For your second misguided statement.You can't have an agenda without believing in at least something say like a "man made" religion.The religion comes about as a belief in some sort of deity.

You say have you no religion but you DO have a god.To me that sounds like covering your A$$ "just in case".Sex before marriage,getting drunk,seeing a women naked...you know the things the "major" religions prohibit are OK with you because you dont have religion but you DO have a god,no worries you're covered cuz you have a god.I'll bet you've broken a christian/jewish commandment or one of the muslim laws without guilt because you don't "have" a religion,but you have a god so you're "covered".

Give me a freakin break.I didn't fall off the turnip truck yesterday.

BTW remember I'm an atheist so throwing in the hell comment kinda proves you do have a belief in christianity.Oops.

I don't believe anywhere in Bob's post that he called you a religious radical freak.

I can certainly say I don't care whether the words god are in anything I'm a freakin atheist.I love giving and getting gifts too so keep christmas around.WTF do I care if money says "In god we trust" on it I still need it to pay to the bills.

You call Bob a freak.Why?

The more I think about it the more I get pissed.Somehow my contribution as a vet is somehow less because I'm an atheist?

The original post isn't a "joke" as you put it.Its a troop motivator that has more than likely been around longer than you've been alive.It was NEVER meant to be funny.

Religion was used as the "convenient excuse" in EVERY single instance above other than the American Civil War.It was fought over states' rights.Most southerners couldn't afford slaves never mind land.It became a religious issue after the Emancipation Proclamation was introduced.Most believed slavery was against gods' ideals.Simply put...enslaving your fellow man is just wrong it has nothing to do with religion its JUST WRONG.

War has never been about stuff.Its about imposing one's beliefs on another.

You don't get it!!!

Your entire statemwent explains it!!!Stalin killed millions BECAUSE of religion ...it was a threat!!!

Spend a little more time with the hutus and tutsi thing.THAT'S defenitly a religious thing.Both tribes believe in different gods that's why they kill one another.

My favorite is your Hitler statement.How shall I begin on this one.First Hitler
believed the Germans to be "god's chosen".The jews were not therefore they
should be exterminated.

I'm an atheist you CAN'T defend your religious beliefs to ME.

My suggestion to you would be not to re-read the history books but to read about the ACTUAL history.
