Those theists are probably right, people do tend to find what they're looking for...even when it isn't there. The idea that you aren't listening, or just can't hear them...is a defensive reaction to a perceived rejection of their self by means of their explanation. If you express your dissatisfaction with an explanation that immediately calls into question their own satisfaction. One of you is defective, the implication is clear...guess which one of you the believer thinks has a nut loose?
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!
