But if he were merely a part of MY personal imagination, He would just be whatever I would have wanted Him to be.
Quote:I wouldn't be part of a larger faith.Why not? What about projection doesn't lend itself well to group participation? Do you mean that you might have slight disagreements with other people of other sects? Check. How about disagreements with your own sects dogma? Double Check.
Quote:I wouldn't read about Catholic teaching and Natural Law in an attempt to learn more about God. God would just be whatever I came up with in my head.You would, if you wanted your imaginary god to be catholic god (but, ofc, personalized for you) - like you do. Can you think of a single thing you disagree with "god" about? Do you think that you and the catholic next to you both agree on every theologically important issue? Do you imagine that this -other- catholic doesn't also believe that god agrees with him? You couldn't both be in mutual and contradictory agreement with god, you know. You could, however, be wrong...you could both be projecting., and you would both be doing it under the larger trend of a socially acceptable and broadly traditional schema - which is as common as fleas on a dog...despite your incredulity at the mere proposition.
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!
