God is busy

God is Busy

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-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
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!

It Happened-True story!

Maybe, you better take a look. Think it can't happen to you? It happened!

Standing up for the truth, can still keep you free.

What does God's Word tell us to watch for and do? Read carefully: Ephesions 6:10-13 There are times when prayer requires works. James 2:17-20

You're sound asleep when you hear a thump outside your bedroom door.

Half-awake, and nearly paralyzed with fear,

you hear muffled whispers.

At least two people have broken into your

house and are moving your way.

With your heart pumping, you reach down

beside your bed and pick up your shotgun.

You rack a shell into the chamber, then inch

toward the door and open it.

In the darkness, you make out two shadows.

One holds something that looks like a crowbar.

When the intruder brandishes it as if to strike,

you raise the shotgun and fire.

The blast knocks both thugs to the floor.

One writhes and screams while the second

man crawls to the front door and lurches outside.

As you pick up the telephone to call police,

you know you're in trouble.

In your country, most guns were outlawed years

before, and the few that are privately owned

are so stringently regulated as to make them useless.

Yours was never registered.

Police arrive and inform you

that the second burglar has died.

They arrest you for First Degree Murder

and Illegal Possession of a Firearm.

When you talk to your attorney, he tells

you not to worry: authorities will probably

plea the case down to manslaughter.

"What kind of sentence will I get?" you ask.

"Only ten-to-twelve years,"

he replies, as if that's nothing.

"Behave yourself, and you'll be out in seven."

The next day, the shooting is the lead

story in the local newspaper.

Somehow, you're portrayed as an eccentric

vigilante while the two men you shot

are represented as choirboys.

Their friends and relatives can't find

an unkind word to say about them.

Buried deep down in the article, authorities acknowledge that both "victims" have been arrested numerous times.

But the next day's headline says it all:

"Lovable Rogue Son Didn't Deserve to Die."

The thieves have been transformed from career criminals into Robin Hood-type pranksters.

As the days wear on, the story takes wings.

The national media picks it up,

then the international media.

The surviving burglar has become a folk hero.

Your attorney says the thief is preparing

to sue you, and he'll probably win.

The media publishes reports that your home has been burglarized several times in the past and that you've been critical of local police for their lack

of effort in apprehending the suspects.

After the last break-in, you told your neighbor

that you would be prepared next time.

The District Attorney uses this to allege

that you were lying in wait for the burglars.

A few months later, you go to trial.

The charges haven't been reduced,

as your lawyer had so confidently predicted.

When you take the stand, your anger at

the injustice of it all works against you.

Prosecutors paint a picture of you

as a mean, vengeful man.

It doesn't take long for the jury to convict

you of all charges.

The judge sentences you to life in prison.

This case really happened.

On August 22, 1999, Tony Martin of Emneth, Norfolk , England , killed one burglar and wounded a second.

In April, 2000, he was convicted

and is now serving a life term.

How did it become a crime to defend one's

own life in the once great British Empire ?

It started with the Pistols Act of 1903.

This seemingly reasonable law forbade selling pistols to minors or felons and established that handgun sales were to be made only to those who had a license. The Firearms Act of 1920 expanded licensing to include not only handguns but all firearms except shotguns.

Later laws passed in 1953 and 1967 outlawed the carrying of any weapon by private citizens and mandated the registration of all shotguns.

Momentum for total handgun confiscation began in earnest after the Hungerford mass shooting in 1987. Michael Ryan, a mentally disturbed man with a Kalashnikov rifle, walked down the streets shooting everyone he saw.

When the smoke cleared, 17 people were dead.

The British public, already de-sensitized by eighty years of "gun control", demanded even tougher restrictions. (The seizure of all privately owned handguns was the objective even though Ryan used a rifle.)

Nine years later, at Dunblane , Scotland , Thomas Hamilton used a semi-automatic weapon to murder 16 children and a teacher at a public school.

For many years, the media had portrayed all gun owners as mentally unstable or worse, criminals. Now the press had a real kook with which to beat up law-abiding gun owners. Day after day, week after week, the media gave up all pretense of objectivity and demanded a total ban on all handguns. The Dunblane Inquiry, a few months later, sealed the fate of the few sidearms still owned by private citizens.

During the years in which the British government incrementally took away most gun rights, the notion that a citizen had the right to armed self-defense came to be seen as vigilantism. Authorities refused to grant gun licenses to people who were threatened, claiming that self-defense was no longer considered a reason to own a gun. Citizens who shot burglars or robbers or rapists were charged while the real criminals were released.

Indeed, after the Martin shooting, a police spokesman was quoted as saying, "We cannot have people take the law into their own hands."

All of Martin's neighbors had been robbed numerous times, and several elderly people were severely injured in beatings by young thugs who had no fear of the consequences. Martin himself, a collector of antiques, had seen most of his collection trashed or stolen by burglars.

When the Dunblane Inquiry ended, citizens who owned handguns were given three months to turn them over to local authorities.

Being good British subjects, most people obeyed the law. The few who didn't were visited by police and threatened with ten-year prison sentences if they didn't comply.

Police later bragged that they'd taken nearly 200,000 handguns from private citizens.

How did the authorities know who had handguns?

The guns had been registered and licensed.

Kind of like cars Sound familiar?

WAKE UP AMERICA; THIS IS WHY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS PUT THE SECOND AMENDMENT IN OUR CONSTITUTION.

"..It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.."

--Samuel Adams

If you think this is important,

please forward to everyone you know.

You had better wake up, because your new

president is going to do this very same thing

over here if he can get it done.

And there are stupid people in congress and

on the street that will go right along with him.

A very interesting comversation.

Think about this It will make you go deeper into what you actually believe. VERY INTERESTING CONVERSATION. An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the Problem Science has with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his New Christian Students to stand and .... > > Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ? > > Student : Yes, sir. > > Professor : So, you Believe in GOD ? > > Student : Absolutely, sir. > > Professor : Is GOD Good ? > > Student : Sure. > > Professor : Is GO D A LL - POWERFUL ? > > Student : Yes. > > Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to > GOD to Heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But > GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm? > > > (Student was silent ) > > > > Professor : You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, Young > Fella. Is GOD Good? > > Student : Yes. > > Professor : Is Satan good? > > Student : No. > > Professor : Where does Satan come from? > > Student : From .... GOD . . . > > Professor : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this > World? > > Student : Yes. > > Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And GOD did make > everything. Correct? > > Student : Yes. > > Professor : So who created evil? > > (Student did not answer) > > Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All > these terrible things exist in the World, don't they? > > Student : Yes, sir. > > Professor : So, who Created them? > > (Student had no answer) > > Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and > Observe the World around you.. Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD? > > Student : No, sir. > > Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD? > > Student : No, sir. > > Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt > your GOD? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter? > > Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't. > > Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM? > > Student : Yes. > > Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable > Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist.. What do you say to that, > son? > > Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith. > > Professor : Yes, Faith. And that is the Problem Science has. > > Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat? > > Professor : Yes. > > Student : And is there such a thing as Cold? > > Professor : Yes. > > Student : No, sir. There isn't.. > > (The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events ) > > Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, > Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat, Little Heat or No Heat. But we don't > have > anything called Cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, > but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as Cold. > Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat. We cannot > Measure Cold. Heat is Energy. Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just > the Absence of it. (There was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre) > > Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing > as Darkness? > > Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness? > > Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the Absence of > Something. You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing > Light . . .. But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its > called Darkness, isn't it? In reality, Darkness isn't If it is, were you > would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you? > > Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man? > > Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed. > > Professor : Flawed? Can you explain how? > > Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You > argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD. You > are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can > measure. Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought. It uses Electricity > and > Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.

Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students > that they evolved from a Monkey? > > Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary > Process, yes, of course, I do. > > Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, > sir? (The Professor shook his head with a Smile, beginning to realize > where > the Argument was going) > > Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of > Evolution at work and Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going > Endeavor, Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist > but a Preacher? > > (The Class was in Uproar ) > > Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the > Professor's Brain? (The Class broke out into Laughter) > > Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the > Professor's Brain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? ..... No one appears to > have done so. So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, > Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that You have No Brain, sir. With all > due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir? > > (The Room was Silent.) > > (The Professor stared at the Student, his face unfathomable) > > Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son. > > Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly! The Link between Man & > GOD is FAITH. That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving. > > That student was Albert Einstein. Concentrate on this sentence 'To > get something you never had, you have to do something you never did' > > DON'T SIT ON YOUR HANDS AND EXPECT THINGS TO HAPPEN THE WAY YOU WANT THEM TO.
