The use of Religion to control, manipulate, and gain power
#17
RE: The use of Religion to control, manipulate, and gain power
Many people have "died for a lie" (please don't embarrass yourself going down this road) - and if I were a con...I doubt that the purpose of my con would be to die (did jesus have a job...who was feeding him, who brought him those glasses of wine, who's bed did he sleep in) but that won't actually have any bearing on whether or not my con gets me killed. It happens. Won't stop suckers from telling stories -about me- after my death either, que Joseph Smith.

Do you actually think that evolution states that a frog will turn into a handsome prince?
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!
