Quote:The question is odd though sound. Look, the premise is simple...just take an introspective look at your life. Have you ever wondered exactly why you are who you are; as a teenager did you wonder why you weren't the star football player or prom queen (assuming, like most of us, you weren't); why were you born into the family you were born into and the "what-if" fantasy of being somebody else. Well, why weren't you?No, I wasn't a star football player because I didn't put the hours in. I wasn't a prom queen because I have entirely too much penis. Let me guess....though, you think the answer to all of these questions is " because magic"....huh.
Quote:I'm simply expanding upon that nascent wonderment and making an ontological query into exactly how or why any one particular self among a historical amalgamation of selves has been, existentially speaking, personally discernible as "you".-and you've received plenty of sensible, easily demonstrable answers, despite your litany of insensible questions and responses. What's the problem?
Quote:If nothing else comes of this, it aptly illustrates that the very hand-waving efforts at dismissing/dodging the inquiry exposes a blind spot within the atheist perspective.Another inexplicable belief you have, to add to the pile, it would seem.
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!
