People imagine that holy books or precepts - always generously imagined themselves...exist in a vacuum. They seem to forget the human element. The creature that will kill for the "peace of god". No matter how positively valued a person imagines their own (or anothers) religious beliefs to be...those very same beliefs -will- find themselves to be the core of some heinous shit, somewhere.
It;s not the headline stuff, though...that makes up the majority of religion's shittifying effect. It;s the everyday indifference. The causual bigotry. The love lost. Opportunities missed. 24hours a day, 7 days a week...a mountain of tiny indignities multiplied by every believer on earth. Real evil is as wholesome as apple pie.

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!
