I don’t like beer at all. My father let me have some when I was about 8. I hated it. I guess some people like it because, when they get drunk, it helps them forget problems. The Lord Jesus, however, trumps any need I have for any artificial high. It’s exhilarating knowing Jesus, and He even has a solution to the problem of death. Absent from the body, for the believer, is to be present with the Lord. Some here may not believe that truth from the New Testament, but I believe Jesus over them.

It sounds that you are suggesting that religion serves the same function for you that you claim beer has for beer drinkers. Interesting.
