Yep, sounds pretty simple.
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!

I am indifferent to many things that are good. Falling in love with a whole bunch of things would also be emotionally exhausting, which is why I would prefer not to do that.

Self-delusion is wonderful for you, isn't it? 
I already love all things good, god is not required.

Why aren't I allowed to fall in love with the things that are important to me? Why would I want to be part of a cult that dowsn't allow me that freedom?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Totally illogical. You have presented a false dichotomy. Show the proofs, OK? You can't, because they don't exist.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.  
Basically what it means is either you serve yourself, or you serve others and God. By serving others through God, you serve yourself because we are all one. However if you only serve yourself, you can't serve others and God. God wants us to serve others, because in the end we grow ourselves while we grow others towards God.
