Again...I don't think that you're guessing at all, I -do- understand that this is how you've conceptualized whatever it is that you're doing.......and it doesn't matter much to me the contents of that list (I hate mosquitos myself, grew up in a swamp - hand me the keys to the fogging apparatus and I'll do my best to kill every last one). It's the process by which you've -arrived- at that list, those contents, whatever they may be, and what you attribute all of this to that I think is much more interesting than whether or not you (or I..or anyone) likes mosquitos.
Do you disagree....is the question "do you like mosquitos" more interesting than the questions -
"how have you arrived at your heavenly list, whatever it may contain - and by what metrics....further, are those metrics in some way objectively verifiable, have you consistently applied them - and do they come from a position of knowledge or ignorance"
..?
Even more puzzling, as we've gone back and forth..I've begun to wonder..when you think about the divine, heaven, earthly tests etc - if the fabric of those thoughts is actually just whether or not you like mosquitos....rather than any of those other questions....if that's what the divine is to you, if that's what it means? I guess I sort of expect there to be more to it....for it to be less shallow. I expected you to have just a -tad- bit more invested into your thoughts on the matter of god, heaven, who gets in...and how.

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 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!
