One might imagine so, if this hell business is as terrible as the faithful claim. On the other hand, why one imagines anything about something so utterly alien to us as a god -in this case- it's "love" (and the implication that it's love might be something like ours..or lead it to motivations like our own) is similarly beyond me to explain. Here we see the faithfuls bullshit sneaking it's way in to begin with. They desire love (and conceptualize it in a transparently human way).... they imagine a god (and conceptualize it in a transparently human way).... they connect the two for reasons entirely indescribable or un-compelling. Why should I even entertain the notion of a gods love as a criticism of the same?
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!
