Quote:One of the reasons I fell out of Christianity so easily is because I never had the thought to rely on god.

Hell,I did. As a child, I prayed for all kinds of shit. Nada, so I went out and stole things. Each time I went to confession,and was forgiven. Never gave anything back though,that would have been personally inconvenient. Besides,how does one un-eat chocolate?

"how does one un-eat chocolate"
Its not about undoing something, why should it be, its about admitting to it and changing, something of actual worth.

"You can do fine without us" is the antithesis of religion; we're all damned and doomed because we're so terrible that we can't possibly take care of ourselves. Dependence and self-loathing are what make religion work.

Some 100% of us are "weak" with regards to how our minds wrap themselves..around themselves Aiza. Religious thinking is just one of those instances.
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!
