>Oh.. Just kidding you a bit. You need to think about it a little from my pov. I'm saying that at some point everyone has a "master passion" or "final authority" (for me it's the Bible's God), or controlling 'something', whether intellectual, emotional or physical. Since you seem to have as your 'final authority' your own mind, if you say there's no god, do you disappear? <g>It seems you can't understand the concept of Mike believing in himself, not magic.
Why would he dissapear just because his "master passion" as you put it is shared by VFP, cars and girls (maybe not in that order). Why should there be a "final authority"? Just because some people are more insecure than others and need a crutch doesn't make it so.
Vini, vidi, vinci. We come, we conquer, we leave this world. Period. I've never seen proof otherwise.
