1: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2: He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3: He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5: Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.


I surely will not be depending on you when I die. Your illusion is yourself.

Alan

<< Two types of people seek religion as an (illusory) answer:

1. Those that have been programmed it almost from birth (also known as
brainwashing).

2. Those that feel helpless, lost, confused, betrayed, hurt, frightened, etc. -- in short,
individuals who had no strong philosophy of life (or the morals and ethics which
stemmed from it) already grounded in reality.>>

With all due respect,
Just as you said to Santiago, that is also an opinion, totally unsupported by fact.
