No, you weren't, and yes, you do. When you go about fanatasing with regards to the punishment you wish/hope/desire for god to enact upon those you see as evil you are merely expressing your own inner tyrant with god supplied as a front. You see, this whole god business allows us to indulge in the shittiest parts of ourselves whilst simultaneously washing our hands of the matter. You wish, hope, and believe that people will be burnt, but you won't so much as bring the match when offered the chance. That's the "better" part of your nature curbing those lesser demons of the mind, one of which being your god.
On the plus side, none of it has any bearing on reality (so long as this little imp of yours stays trapped betwixt your ears, where it belongs), and I wouldn't condemn you in reality for thought crimes. Fell free to weave as elaborate and gruesome a narrative as is required by whatever part of you desires it, but lets call a spade a spade eh?
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!
