It may very well be. I'm entertaining the proposition so that we can elaborate on why it wouldn't matter even if it were true.
Theists tell us that their gods are assholes. Fine. So be it. That fact, if it is a fact, makes the purported fact of their existence moot. I'm also aware of lions and tigers and flesh eating bacteria and warlords of various persuasions. I'm not rushing out to do what would be good for them or what they want or what they say just because they exist - and there's absolutely no question that they exist.

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!
