Some religions may be wicked, but again..they don't have to be, and yes, some believers say incredibly silly things...but that doesn't change the fact that there are many arguments that do not yield the desired conclusion, with regards to -gods-...even if they do accurately describe one god among what, thousands, tens of thousands? Millions of personal Jesi in the private minds of the faithful?
(this thread was made as an example of how a person can respond to those arguments -without- being assholes, or saying fantastically silly things)
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!
