I-mine.
A self worth that..even with the addition of that other...leaves us in a state where we do not deserve what we will be gifted. I can;t hammer this home enough..but the idea that paul specifically or christianity in general underpin any modern -or- ancient notion of intrinsic value is absurd. Christian ideology is a full bodied rejection of the intrinsic value of man.
All we have from the camp that makes the claim is breathless repetition of "it's in there" followed by magic book inspired listicles that show otherwise.
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!
