Original lecture text hyeah, and the book has more essays on the subject.
With respect to the question, why a person isn't a christian really isn't the same thing as why a person is an atheist. Responding that way falls right into the pit set up by nutbars like christian apologists, and John Gray, who isn't a christian apologist...but still..ironically...draws on the christian corpus to launch his screed against any other viewpoint than his own, which he conveniently mislabels -as- atheism.
I'm not a christian because I wont string a jew up to cover for all the times I've touched my dick. I'm an atheist because I don't believe in gods.
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!
