Quite literally the very first post I have looked at in there in months and what do I see?

I like some of the music posts I occasionally find in there but other than that, I stay out.

Seriously.... all atheist/ religious rhetoric aside.... it's just an ill thought-out lousy sophomoric joke, I can't believe anyone finds it cute.

(9,356 posts)With the punch line - literally - where the Marine/SEAL beats up the mean old atheist professor. While burbling, "GAWD was busy protecting my buddies. So he sent me to kick your ass." (Which brings up a lot of problems with an omnipotent Deity being unable to multi-task etc. But I digress, as usual.)
Since I actually was in the Marine Corps, that story missed a few things that would have certainly happened after the atheist ass-beating:
--Marine/SEAL is thrown in the brig and charged under Article 128 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Assault. Since the prof got an epic beating, charges would almost certainly include a greater offense, assault and battery.
--Marine/SEAL is court-martialed and found guilty, since the beatdown occurred in a classroom full of witnesses. Punishment can include reduction in rank, forfeiture of pay and allowances, time in a military prison and a bad discharge. Or all of the above.
--Marine/SEAL is finally released from Leavenworth. Gets hired by Focus on the Family/Fox News as a religion expert.
