Welcome aboard brother.In two ways, that's precisely -why- I'm not christian. I take the narratives as they are, and to me the core message is hideous, as-is. I take the verifiable claims for what they are - and they come up short of true again and again. But it's not important in the end how I interpret the evidence at hand vs how you do.
What is troubling me is that you hold two contradictory positions as simultaneously true in your justification for belief in the supernatural. I'm just trying to sound the rocks here - see which side of that line you actually fall on.
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!
