Indoctrination & Mental Gymnastics
RE: Indoctrination & Mental Gymnastics

Not -your- version of the trinity....even "the trinity" has many interpretations, and they don't require that anyone even hold -that- position (they're comfortable with anyone who professes faith in jesus christ - the rest creates useless division, to their "official" minds). I'm glad you finally saw the light, though. Now if only the rest of you would. Wink

Those non-trinitarians, btw, will point to scripture all...day...long (trinitarianism doesn't come from the bible, it comes from christian culture). Many of them feel that you are a pagan. You'd balk at such an implication, I'm sure (and not without justification). In the spirit of christian brotherhood, I think that you should all recognize that your positions are on equal ground. I see no reason for you to include Episcolpalians (horseshoes and hand grenades) but exclude Unitarians (these guys are just non-literalists...you don't have a problem with that, right?), LDS (nutballs, admittedly, but christian nutballs nonetheless) or Witnesses(their organization is pure cult...but you won't find an un-biblical bone in it's body), for example. Quakers....anybody who won't tent up with a quaker is bad news....even I like quakers...lol. Within the trinatarian sub-tent...you'll actually find that there are still differences and nuance in various sects christology, btw, and all of this is ignoring the fact that individual believers don't always believe everything exactly as the boss tells it, eh?

(I'm sitting here reading all the shitty things that CARM has to say about Witnesses, for example, thinking to myself...."doesn't this fucker realize that all of his criticism of them apply equally to any denomination - including his own? -I'd be a good CARM writer....it would seem, and that's telling)
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!
