I don't dismiss the miracles, fulfilled prophesies or eyewitness testimonies from Peter and John.
"Peter" and "John" didn't write your gospels...so it hardly matters whether or not you believe they were eye-witnesses to whatever you think they saw. You believe, more accurately, in whatever it is that later, anonymous authors happened to scribble into the page at their masters behest...masters which you don't...as a point of fact, believe in today.
@Drich, obviously not....if he were an anglican he probably wouldn't have stated that he was in a sect all his own. If it makes you feel better to imagine that Jefferson had beliefs as retarded as yours..have at it, he did...just not about jesus.
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!
