RE: why faith fails

-and something that the author had seen in his own time. An obscure and irrelevant faith had turned into a legitimate political force, and begun exerting itself.
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!

Most of the time, I have faith that the unlikely will not happen. Surely the reader can follow and think of personal examples and anecdotes. Faith fails when the unlikely happens. That's all. No need to imagine a divine will or puppet master. That takes a simple matter and makes it ridiculously complex and open to interpretation.
Sometimes I don't leave unlikely things to chance. Others, I gamble against the odds. I wager my brand of faith works as well or better as those who pray. Try skipping the prayers and being more realistic and analytical.

I think the ultimate reason that faith fails is that every so often (but not often enough) people stop having faith and start actually thinking about stuff.

My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".
I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9
I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!
When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!
I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.
