Quote:Does it ultimately hold us back from creating a peaceful world?I don't think so, no, religions (no matter which you choose to discuss) play to the best and the worst of us - that;s never going to work, considering how bad the worst of us can be and how terrible our best is sometimes expressed -as-.
Quote:Or, even without religion, would we still find ways to be hostile to one another? Can peace be obtained? What is your formula for peace?
We already find plenty of ways and reasons. It's convenient when a bunch of them fall under one tent and get ascribed the moniker "religion", but we'd still be at each other tooth and nail for any of the other (most of the time) better reasons.
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!
