Athiesm is a Faith?
RE: Athiesm is a Faith?
Consider for a moment, how often we might hear that particular line. The reasons that are offered (you offered none, well done, well done indeed) differ from claimant to claimant. Some of us (apparently) have hard hearts, others are to ignorant to see the evidence right in front of them. Yet more still simply weren't "chosen". The excuses and escape clauses are endless. But, to be blunt, yes, it would be on you to demonstrate how you came about such knowledge of another's mind or potential future actions.....and it would be on you to demonstrate that your assessment of that mind (or those future actions) was accurate.....does that seem unreasonable?
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!

not sure if that's directed at me and what I said as a joke anyway in last post?
