The usual mistake apologists make, is thinking that proving their god was somehow real...if they ever managed to do it, would make everyone who heard their story a follower.
I'd have an even -shittier- opinion of a real god, that really did all that shit. That really does set the game up so that the terminus is vicarious redemption. I pay my speeding tickets, instead of having some poor fucker tied to a post and beaten on account of them. I guess I -could- let somebody else take the punishment I deserve...but I don;t do it in life when I have the opportunity to do so. Why would that change, if there were a real christian god?

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!
