So the kind of directing and favouring that you are locating and talking about is directing and favouring carried out by an agent. Ourselves. It underlines my point, it doesn't challenge it.Actually, it challenges it completely and absolutely, because now...the roster of agents -that you have allowed- contains one in evidence, and one that only exists as an assertion. We still have my waffles and peanuts waiting to pinch hit btw. If all you require is an agent...we aren't at a loss for them. No..you don;t require an agent..you were simply hoping to equivocate between "agent" and "god".
Oh...such a tough choice.....lol.
Try again.

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!
