Yeah, you gotta give credit where it's due, eh FNM. People have spent alot of time trying to hammer god into something demonstrably true. Of coure they're going to have -something- to show for their trouble. I actually like the general thrust of pre-sup...in that it asks one to consider which worldviews, out of an endless sea of candidate worldviews, explains the most, and are the most coherent. Obviously, christian presuppositionalists believe that the christian worldview does, but the same method could be applied to -any- worldview....and it;s not a bad exercise. I think where pre-sups shine is in demonstrating that some other argument claiming to rule god out simply can;t do so. They're better leveraged against competing worldviews than they are at establishing the truth of their own, but that's pretty much explicit in their design...so I guess it shouldn't be surprising.
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!
