Used to be tons of them in the world, we called them "gay".
I do get where the hesitency comes from. It's just so hard to believe, we imagine that everything must have rules...and the rules have been so useful...so when we imagine existent gods we still tend to imagine them with rules they have to follow. Even the god botherers suffer from a poverty of imagination exactly like this. Still, if we're gonna do it, let's do it righteously. The Rulemaker doesn't have rules...it makes the damned rules. They are whatever it says they are, anytime it says whatever it says, which can be 180 degrees off from whatever it last pronounced or did.
That's exactly why I don't give a shit. So what if it exists and so what if it does exactly what it wants how it wants or even without any actual "how" whatsoever...just POOF? I'm still not gonna curbstomp the neighbors kid on it's say so. Existence and/or whether there are rules that bind isn't the problem. It could be magic all the way down, and for real. Trash either way.

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!
