Well shit Tim, you appear to know so little about the subject that I wonder whether you ought to be reading or writing?
You cant expect anyone to take you seriously if you want to litigate such basic facts of mere reality. Not here or anywhere else, really. Even the fundies try to come up with some reason they fucked the pooch. You seem content to pretend it's never happened? Let's imagine a world where your spine and your dignity were both intact, shall we? Where you don't pretend to draw an absolute blank at the notion of the church as a gatekeeping force in western history, because you're doing real history. Say you spent an hour explaining to silly atheists that the church didn't burn people for one absurd reason, but for another absurd reason, what do you think you will have accomplished. Who do you think you will have educated? What argument, do you imagine, you'll have won?

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!
