No, because it's difficult to determine what groups of people who never existed thought about an event that never happened...except..of course...for those who believed that it did...and those people seem to be awfully fucking terrified by the lord. You'd be a great example of that.
Quote:We are not talking subsequent generations. We are speaking for those who lived in the time these events happened.Which would be no one, because these events did not happen.
Quote:Not the God of the bible, their own version of God.Which is still the god of the bible. Sure, they have their own spin on that god, but so do you. Neither of you can establish anything about this god as a matter-of-fact in the first place. So bitching about others giving this character their spin while you simultaneously give it your own is an empty criticism.
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 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!
