Not at all, don't know you from adam. It was only a question about a thing I read alot in deconversion narratives (and a pretty strong interest of my own). I have no idea what it's like, myself, so I have to ask. From your response, it seems like there is some anxiety between what you see as valuable and the questionability of it's origin in your life. Sometimes it goes the other way when I ask, people say yeah... no rules, no knowledge, no value even. Tabula rasa.
What are some of the truths or values that you've had to find alternate justifications for since losing your faith? The things alluded to in response? Have you found all of the important ones yet, or are you still rebuilding?
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!
