Quote:If God exists, it would be a favor if humanity knew he existed beyond doubt.Starts here, you've chosen to use the operator of "if", and the argument structure of an mt at line 4.
For the premise to be used the antecedent must be a necessary or sufficient condition for the claim made in the consequent. That is the requirement made by use of the "if" clause, and this "if" condition must be met for an mt to be reliable.
The existence of a god is neither necessary or sufficient reason for his revealing himself to be a favor to us, beyond a doubt or otherwise.
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!
