But if you want my opinion, sans all the obfuscatory bullshit piled on by yourself and other christians? Because you're accepting vicarious redemption for your own failings. Reject the offer, don't sing it's praises, or the praises of those who would offer or arrange it- then you might be closer to deserving redemption in the first place...for whatever it is that you've done. Closer, mind you...you'll still have to make a run at a decent life.

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!
