I've always found that particular bit to be so very telling. Christians like to say that you don;t have to "convert" to judaism to be a christian - but it's a hollow distinction. You have to believe in the same god, who did the same horrid shit, from the same horrid texts. The only functional difference between the two is that the christians just couldn't stand the thought of following all those inconvenient rules.
So I suppose, since we're imagining gods in this thread...we could imagine one that says "fuck the rules" just as easily as any other.

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!
