A cursory glance? I can quote the Upanishads ffs..and I'm a redneck. To you, they may seem very much the same, and there are places where there is convergence..which again, has a better explanation than "the truth of the godhead" behind it. But we have to interpret things into the text (a massively edited text) to make every religion somehow true. That's just not how it works. The conclusion must fit the observation, not the other way around. Point is, stop assuming I don't have a clue wtf I'm talking about and start showing the vast overarching commonalities. Explain why "godhead" best fits the observations you make.
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!
