3. It’s nice to think you are special, in as much as you have an intimate relationship with the most powerful being in existence and that others may not.
4. It’s nice to think you can ask favors of this being and it will give a damn about what you need.
5. It’s nice to think that when you go to war you’ll have someone looking out for you to make sure you win.
6. It’s nice to think that those who have done you wrong will be punished for their transgressions even though you are powerless to punish them.
7. It’s nice to think that you won’t have to pay for your transgressions even though you are an evil bastard.
8. It’s nice to think that you have a chance to live a happy and prosperous life even though this life has been nothing but shit and with no hope of the situation ever getting better until the day you drop dead.
