I see things like the above constantly on these boards;
"But if there's no god, what about these other things I believe in?" - as if a person were negotiating with the cosmos. If there's no god, you either have those other things you believe in or you don't, same as ever...and no amount of heckling with the universe on the issue of fairies will change it one way or another.
Taking a more devout tack, the explanation for any of the items above is not allah. Insisting so, if you believe in such things.... is to do a disservice to a god, to discredit it's work. Imagining that lazy platitudes might adequately describe the intricate wonders produced by the nature of this world and it's inhabitants. If there is a god, it's far bigger than the paltry nonsense you've convinced yourself of.
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!
