As a fictional character I like Satan. About the only thing is that silly book I like.

I hadn't looked at it this way but I agree. Satan is like Prometheus, a mythical creature that goes against the rest of heaven in order to give something to humankind. Fire is handy but knowledge even more so.

Well put, and like Prometheus he is punished for it. The peddlers of religious bullshit know a good story when they see it, even if they completely miss the point.
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!
