Meh, nothing in particular. Just general human curiosity.

Wouldn't all waters be gods waters? Again, you haven't thought this through. If you want to dismiss all others experiences (or lack of experience) with the divine that's your own business. If you think that dismissing others experiences strengthens the validity or plausibility of your own you are mistaken. All you will accomplish by this is a long litany of the manners in which a god does not make itself known, without being able to provide a single example of a way in which a god does make itself known. A counter-intuitive goal for a believer, imho.
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!
