Quote:We can define 'God' in many different ways.Let's not.
Quote:I don't think God is an "ultimate brute fact" or the natural universe might as well be God.The church is really not doing well these days if it's adherents think god is reducible.
Quote:If we accept that everything has an explanation then there must be something absolutely simple. It makes the most sense that that is the end of explanations, so why stop the reasoning process before we reach it? The argument is that if we can't observe it somehow, it doesn't matter.Why indeed. So, reducible god. What is it's explanation? Who or what created it?
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!
