Quote:To control others? Nope. Religion is and always has been voluntary.I have never seen a more blissfully misinformed sentiment expressed. You can thank us secular sons of bitches for that leeway in belief btw, whenever it's convenient for you.
Quote:Fear of death? Imaginary anaesthetic for real pain? Nope. The God conclusion isnt a prank ppl play on themselves.Yes and yes, and yes.........
Quote:Whenever I hear an atheist say religion invented the afterlife because of a fear of death I wonder about the corollary - Atheism is a religion invented by people so that they dont have to be afraid that there IS an afterlife.The afterlife is a great deal older than any religion, so far as we can tell. The various descriptions of it have been invented by varying religions -as a matter of fact-.
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!
