Adopting Religion for fear of what may transpire post death?
#28
RE: Adopting Religion for fear of what may transpire post death?
Some friends of ours (my wife and I) are currently having a dispute over tithing. Apparently my buddy's wife was at church and the pastor decided to beat the tithing drum, implying that good christians in the chruch were meeting their "tithing commitment" whilst others may not be. Publicly shaming people (imagine the eyes going left and right, wondering who the bad christians were), in an attempt to make a buck. Real fucking classy. Apparently Pastor So and So needs a new pair of shoes. In any case, his wife feels the thumb on the top of her head and writes a check. Guess they couldn't afford it after all-que marital discord.
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!
