You did pose the question Drich...did you not want someone to take a stab at answering it? Perhaps you shouldn't consider it an attack on your character, but rather praise for persisting in it (despite obvious difficulties leading you to offer a defense where none would be required - were you "all that you could be").
You should know me well enough by now that any "discussion about theology" you might want to play at with me will always fall to the fact that it is fiction. It is never any more serious than that, it never rises to a level worth more respect than that. I do not need to attack fiction, I do not need to defend my casual disregard for fiction-as-fact. No amount of insulting your character would ever help me accomplish two task which I have no interest in accomplishing. So no, Drich, your theology doesn't lead me insult some portion of your character, your own acceptance of the underlaying principles of that theology does - the fairy tale remains just that - it's your wish for it to be true that leads to my comments....and who else should I be directing those comments at - you're the one doing the wishing,..... Should I conclude that god is a cunt for something you wish a god would have done? I hardly think so. Am I supposed to tell you that you're wrong for wishing these things? Why would I do that, we simply have a difference of opinion. Just so happens that some opinions are cuntish and some aren't. Eye of the beholder, right?
lol.

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!
