The example of abuse would be fine, except that you absolutely can defend yourself against those accusations in this country by claiming articles of faith. When it doesn't work it's news-worthy, and the faithful feel that this is somehow a miscarriage of justice. Summer, these people have checked themselves out of our social contract. Those that don't take their faith literally in every sense are the ones you seem to be defending. The more in line with our current notions of secularism they are the less worrisome they become? I agree completely. Which is exactly why I'd love to get rid of religion in the first place.
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!
