Personally, I try to remind myself that god-bothering satisfies all of the shittiest parts of us..and that this, amusingly, is known to make us happy, lol. The livestock analogy is a poor one, though, as I tell porpoise here every month, around the same time, when he posts it again (and again...and again).
We actually take care of our livestock, and we're co-dependent upon each other, lol. God would be more a game warden than a rancher. We're the kings deer. Mostly oblivious and unaware of that greater reality outside our own experience..left to our own devices, little or no contact with the warden or any other divine representative until the moment of our death.
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!
