I do, the god written about in the OT. Same with slavery. Perhaps he's just a "metaphorical god"...lol. I don't find the metaphorical lessons of your metaphorical god worthwhile in the least, not even as metaphor. I didn't have to be told that evil creatures with absolute power would be capable of terrible things, which is all I see when I look at the text. I've known that since I was about 2 feet tall, that's what I used to call "boogeymen".
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!
