It seems that atheists and fundamentalists both insist on seeing only the most superficial approach to Holy Scripture.
It seems equally ironic that a person who accepts an incredibly superficial assessment of the texts in question should happen across that notion. These narratives -just might- express some widely shared aspect of the human experience, and perhaps the divine machinery is simply the vehicle by which these very human, very mundane truths are communicated. But no...no...it's about really real fairies, huh? I doubt that you'll be able to deliver much of a brow beating on this one before you do a little self assessment.

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!
