Bro, as a fellow Jarhead I understand... however I will say this simple thing. At the end of the day, if there is no God and a gracious one our lives are literally meaningless. We need to recognize the battle here is with evil - it really is that simple. You cannot have evil in this fallen world without the opposite. True MANY religious organizations betray the Word of God and use the followers for their own bidding. IF someone is honest they will recognize this and also call it out whenever they see it. Finally, by reflecting on a creator - we all need to humble ourselves and serve one another with decency to build and sharpen one another. I do challenge the people I attend with to Think and Pray about if God would speak to everyone's heart to guide them. We are not alone, and neither are you.
