If by "strong" we meant "takes the least amount of bullshit to utter in polite company" - the argument from faith, which is what all arguments for the existence of any god have always been in any case. A person who has the integrity to own their faith on it's own terms for what it is, without any pretense of what it is not will not compel me to believe, true, but while they may not compel me to believe, they also won't compel me to consider them as much more than a person of faith.......and the list of adjectives could be much more colorful after all.
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!
