You had me up until the first comma.
You may judge gods by lesser standards than you judge men, but I see little point in doing so. I also doubt that your moral intuitions would change much, if at all, if you woke up an apostate tomorrow.
I guess you'll just have to wait and see on that one, but, if your assessment really is true, you might want to consider turning yourself into the authorities whenever you feel doubts. Assuming that they're not the kind of authorities that passively watch, ofc - what I'm saying is that you might need a little more help than prayer can give you..on this one. Lest you fall on someone's head like a rock, gods creation that you are.

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!
