Your friend the kind of guy who'd toss old ladies into the street if he stopped believing? Sounds like you need new friends. If every religious tradition, including atheist releigious traditions, count as "higher beings" or "higher teachings"...then the category is sufficiently wide to allow for -anything-. You could follow the "higher teachings" teachings of the "higher being" Doctor Suess. It's all the same. Doctor Suess, Jesus, Buddha, The Sunday Morning Paper....whatever.
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!
