I have no such problem..I wouldn't kill my kid. I've been in extraordinary situations. Didn't kill my kid. Plenty of people claim to have been in divinely extraordinary situations.....they didn't kill their kids either.
Quote:It's both. Again, an easy command isn't a test of faith. Yes, the thought of killing my own child is horrible. That's why it would require great faith to do it. I doubt that I have such faith.-and here again you frame your inability to kill your own child as a character defect. This is why I'm not taking your bullshit seriously, you aren't even taking it seriously.

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!
