Like I said, I can't take credit. You seem like a guy whos aware that the beliefs you were raised in were...let's say, stunted? Sure you managed to ditch the kind of thing you were attempting to leave behind? Is that how you came to be in the position of believing that the three statements you commented on in our new friends other shitthread were all just opinions about facts?
Not a single warning light turned on?
That's the kind of thing that concerns me about the current crop of theistic religions. I wonder if it's a routine effect -of- theistic religions...sort of like how we believe it would be bad if a trusted person lied to us, and sometimes so bad, depending on the level of trust we've assigned - that even when we realize that what we'd been told was a lie, we memory hole that realization and insist that the lie is somehow salvageable. If our parents, or or pastor..or heaven forfend..uncle god himself, lead us to believe an untrue thing - well, other people are going to notice when conversation or circumstance touches it's borders.
It's manifestly obvious that someone has filled this guys head with nonsense. You reckon he did it to himself, maybe, all alone - no help?

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!
