Your belief is irrelevant, because regardless of whether or not I have all the "x" you believe me to have, or from where they might arise.....I still have morality, huh? That I have a moral system is not an open issue of contention, as the accuracy of your beliefs are.
Here again we see that you can only allow meaning if it comports with whatever you think meaning must be. Perhaps it -doesn't- have the meaning you silently insist upon..and yet still...regardless of the accuracy of whatever -those- beliefs are, my interactions with humans are still meaningful.
Point is, if it's escaped you, is that it doesn't -matter- whether or not you're right or wrong about whatever it is you believe, Neo. Right or wrong, accurate or inaccurate, existent or nonexistent, it's inapplicable to me.

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!
