Quote:To believe in God is likely to mean to worship God, and to worship God means to do his will, so it's all defined by the fruits a person carries that makes him believe in God or not.Ish, it's possible to believe in a god without worshiping a god.
Quote:Believing in God is not something you do in your head, like thinking for example. It's about being who you are.For you, maybe? You won't have to look far for a believer that rankles at the suggestion that their religious beliefs are anything -other- than a thoroughly intellectual enterprise. Same goes for atheists...but I feel you there. I find myself explaining to people that, ultimately, an atheist is just what I am. I had occassion to explain as much in this thread before you joined. I can see how the same could be true for a believer.
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!
