LOL, CBA, are you seriously flirting with a wager? Have you considered Islam? It doesn't take much and the reward is great.
I, like others, refuse to even attempt to steal Mins thunder on this count (honestly, I couldn't if I tried). I'm not even surprised that it would boil down to an argument from authority, because that's how it begins in the first place. First, establish the weight of whatever authority you wish to invoke...and then establish the veracity of the evidence that those authorities rely upon. It is easier to say "experts agree....", but it isn't convincing, and I'm much more interested in why experts agree.
What wut? Stick around for awhile, perhaps you'll be surprised at how many christian gods are hanging around like floaters on these boards alone.

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!
