It doesn't strike me as a difficult concept to grasp, guys.
-That- isn't difficult to grasp, but that's not what she just described. People feel presences all the time, people attribute things to gods all the time, people assume and abandon belief sets all the time...this is not at all "detecting" a god. Why would we use the kid gloves when a person advances a statement that reduces the god they claim to believe in to silliness....when they shit a disposable claim down our earholes? Nope...I'm holding these god pesterers to the things they say...after all..they swear it's important...and they came here to tell us about it, clearly.
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!
