My current religious teacher isn't as good as I thought

RE: My current religious teacher isn't as good as I thought
Sure, I'd even go so far as to suggest that most of what we do isn't consciously motivated. That;s actually how cons work in the first place. They leverage human compulsion.

The christian religion isn;t much different from an airport scam. It works on implication and reciprocity. The believer is implicated in crimes they did not knowingly commit, and then entreated to return in kind through reciprocity by the solid favor of christ in bailing them out of those very same crimes. Everybody wins..it seems like a good deal.
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!
