: What's with that shit...'fear God'?

-------------------

: That is the same shit Steve practices.
: "Fear God" means to fear trying to
: do anything. If you don't try to do
: anything you will be taken care of. But you
: also have to not try to not try.

-------------------

Hadn't thought of it that way, rat. But I can see it.

If I were a theist though, I would love, unconditionally, my god. There would be no fear.

It will have freed me from the need to do or control anything, and in doing so will have lifted a great burden from my shoulders.

Why would I fear such a benevolence.
