Empathy and sympathy vary in people, and the ideas of what constitutes morality is similarly variable from person to person and culture to culture. That people discuss these things and come to a middle ground that they can all agree on does not require that one invoke god. Not even for the tiniest of things. Our morality as a culture is precisely the product of everyone's personal opinions weighed against each other. What sin would you negotiate away if a believer in sharia law was willing to give up the assertion that apostasy should be punishable by death in exchange for one of your own beliefs(if you disagree, of course)?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
