The bolded part is correct. The italicized portion is pathetic. I can imagine a great many things. That I can imagine them does not mean that they exist anywhere outside of my own imagination. If everything that could be imagined were to be treated as equally true we'd be in shitload of trouble. Look at the trouble one flight of fancy (god/gods) got us into. The final part is just you being an ass, and would be more accurately rendered as "You have evidence?" Which, to you, probably sounds a lot like "shut the fuck up because I said so"...because you do not have evidence.
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!
