They're the worst. Without this sort of stuff we would have good people doing good things and bad people doing bad things - but to convince a good person to do a bad thing...well.
There is nothing redeemable about believing that an asshole in the sky runs shit. There is absolutely no floor to human behavior in this mode of thinking. Any horrid whatsit that a person has ever done or ever could do is a thing that can be asserted to be gods will - and that's how uniquely bad ideas are turned into the conceptual fabric of the universe.
I prefer a suicidal drunk to a homicidal true believer. You can help the drunk - there's only one way out for the other guy.
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!
