Would you disclose it?Sure, I don't have one. I never had the misfortune of having to approach atheism as a plausibility. So I don't have any of the hangups I commonly see in people coming at it from "the other direction", trying to make sense of this or that without a god.
Plenty of nuts of various stripes in my family, though. Holy rollers like my gg on down to hippie pagans like my mother who did (and still does) believe in fairies and magic. The myths, for me..have always been myths. Curiosities that others believed in. OTOH, I collected (and still collect) myths like other kids collected baseball cards. My kids get a kick out of it. I recounted Beowulf to them, full on storyteller mode...to cover the time in our last roadtrip and shut their yapping mouths.
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!
