Quote: if you could get on with showing me evidence for such beliefs, I'd appreciate it more. Evidence. Please.May sound strange, but perhaps I can help there? The first thing you have to consider, when considering retention..is what you want to retain. For example, if you wanted to retain the belief in those verses above, the sermon on the mount (in their essential truth and goodness, in the value of holding to them as ideals).......I think we can go the evidence route and leave them intact, sort of.
I... am more open to evidence that supports the continuation of holding these Christian beliefs than anyone... I promise, you... anyone you've met. I'm literally dragging bloody fingers through the very edge of the cliff, desperately trying to hold on to that which is familiar to me.
I know you don't know me... but I promise you... I've already studied these arguments in depth... *in depth*.
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!
