All religion does is exploit the weakness that is inherent in humans. Whether said weakness may be a fear of death, a lack of purpose, or anything that we want in life but don't have. Religion is willing to comfort us and tell us that if we spend enough time praying (which to me seems completely unproductive) and if we have faith everything will work out just fine. And when is doesn't (probably because you were praying instead of working) it's because you did not have enough faith.
I wish I could continue this but its 2:10 and I think I should finish up my passion blog too. "Sad face"
This is the first time I have ever seen this one, and I think it's hilarious. There is so much controversy over religion and evolution and such today, that it's nice to get a humorous take on it. I wish I could be excused for being a mathematics atheist, too!

ReplyDeleteI feel like people ned religion more to give their own lives meaning than to exploit human weaknesses. I think of it more as a sop to human weakness than an exploitation of it, belief that is. However, as far as organized religion goes I agree with you that most of it is simply exploitative. Cute comic! I wish I had been math exempt as a Math Atheist too. =)
