Mental gymnastics from the brain-eating religion

RE: Mental gymnastics from the brain-eating religion
One explanation for a cantrips efficacy is just as ridiculous as any other, IMO.

The church has had obvious need to refine their superstitions over the centuries, tied as their existence has been to the acceptability of their beliefs among their constituency, and the changing beliefs and demographics of that constituency.

Whether they seek to explain how the magic works in the language of the gutter or by flowery prose - both are, equivalently, explanations for how the magic works.
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!
