Is Napoleons quote realistic about “God is on the edge that
surpasses the best artillery?†It has brought controversial that those who
always win claims that “God was with us†contrary to those who lose silence
about their desertion by the divine. (Kiley, 2004) Try to think of such groups
like actors, athletes, musicians who always regularly thank God with “I
couldn’t have done it without you, God� But the same people when they fail to
win an Oscar award or miss the game winning a pass, they don’t comment anything
about God’s help, then the failing is all their own. Very telling and
selective. I think the comment that Napoleons said in the context that God is
on the side of the best artillery is on the edge of those who are prepared
well. (Kiley, 2004) Napoleon is using the term battalion in a non-military
context for a general term of the military unit, and yet he is making a very
cynical remark. Many Christians might allege that God sees it to the religious
righteous would cause them to win. By indicating that God is on the side of the
best battalions, Napoleon is disallowing that God has anything to do with the
outcome of a battle. (Kiley, 2004) Napoleon is absurd of the notion that God
takes sides in human wars, and a good remark Napoleon has made, in my opinion.
Those victors and winners write history are always the good guys who are
fighting for the just cause, and real heroes are buried over there. God is
beyond physical attributes such as the Creator, Sustainer or provider of all,
and God is so much more than humans can imagine. (Kiley, 2004)
