3. A Relationship with God - see number 2
Of course you don't have to be an atheist. I just don't pal around with people who claim the moral high ground by positing scientific illiteracy, the righteousness of xenocide, or the sweet sweet comfort of torturing another to absolve themselves of responsibility for their actions (to name a few). That I don't pal around with such people would probably lead you to a great many conclusions regarding my opinion of their parenting advice.

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!
