Why I am still a Christian.

RE: Why I am still a Christian.
(September 3, 2012 at 6:43 pm)greneknight Wrote: Not just familiar literature. It's also the bedrock of our civilization and the source of a lot of our art and culture. Yes, that's about it. If you want to look for something supernatural, look elsewhere. Narnia is a good start. Grimm's Fairy Tales is another.

Actually, amigo, our civilization had it's bedrock laid before the first jesus shaped uttering ever left the lips of man, as did a vast amount of our art and culture -not to mention that people are the source of both of these things in the first fucking place-.

Weak. Look, I get it, the church is quaint and familiar to you, and that's cool. But this whole "bedrock and art and blah blah"..nah, no dice. I wish I knew more about my deep ancestral past, for example, but knowledge of this was eradicated both in the minds of many and in the physical representations of that culture. If the church ever put a brick on the road it took two from elsewhere and destroyed a fourth.
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!
