They may not be, their beliefs are. Whether it's 5 people or 5 billion. People do terrible things, regardless, and that much is obvious. The terrible things that people do for, by, or because of god are in a class all their own. The current crop of gods has a built in mechanism for supporting ethnocentrism and bigotry and genocide (at the very least). In the end, god will do all the wetwork right? Every now and again the faithful get impatient. This is not a notion that I can easily dismiss, nor is it one that I believe has no effect on the "decent" believers.
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!
