I can't understand religion at all.

Times are tough, have always been tough, especially if you’re not rich or a genius. But for some simple administrative competency and elegant speaking skills you can make any town supply you with housing/food/amenities and all you have to do is put your hand on their heads and cast a spell (results may vary)

Instruction unclear. Cock's stuck in the bag of sarin in the Tokyo metro.

I'm more surprised with how people grow to collect numerous contradictions between what they see and can measure - and what they believe in, taking different tales literally and worshipping them. That constant doublethink should be really exhausting to them imho. Without a safeguard of self-reflection, it leaves a vulnerability to believe in any new irrational thing handed to them.

I kinda like it for many things like creating strong-knit communities and setting some basic guidelines in older times, but it can also lead to a harsh joke I started this comment with, or something even worse.
