I haven't misrepresented either my own responsibility to the suffering of others or any possible creator-gods. I'm holding both of us accountable, - because I consistently apply my principles. Why would I need an argument against god? I'm arguing -for- a god. A creator god, that made us(and this place) this way/cursed us (and this place) to be this way. In the balance, I just think that this creator god would be the bigger asshole than myself - on this particular issue.
You have no argument against God. You point a finger, but the other four point back at yourself, and those who would agree with that crap.
I'm an anti-theist......arguing the anti-theist viewpoint. I don't feel like quibbling with you over some imagined atheist position - some "argument against god" you feel ought to be forthcoming. My point is that it's all pretty damn bad regardless bud. To explain to you why I would feel a little sick to my stomach -even if it were true.... I mean, what's the most generous reading of this whole guilty man thing anyway? That gods pet monkeys broke his machine...and that he hasn't bothered to fix it all this time (for whatever reason) and that thusly the pet monkeys really ought to be pointing the crooked finger at each other while giving god a special pass? Well, I think I'll pass on that -if we're giving out passes; but thank you for presenting it as an alternative.
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!
