On 1 April, 1945, the largest amphibious assault of the Pacific Theater began. The battle for the island of Okinawa would last for the next 82 days.

In trying to rectify the agnostic scientist in me with the obsessive-compulsive Christian, I had to confront my entire existence. Religion had permeated my life to the point where I rebelled against every social and religious norm. If I was ever going to believe in God, what attributes must I possess?
