Like I've said before People hate bad news, so they invented religion.
I dont think there's any worse news a person wants to hear than "You're going to die someday." So some clever little caveman invented the notion of "an everlasting soul" and went on to sell immortality for the small price of 10% of all his subscriber's incomes, and their everlasting, undying obedience to his word. I'd prolly say that it's a profession older than prostitution or even fishing; selling false hopes and empty promises, but people still swallow it because to them it sure sounds a whole lot better than becoming forgotten worm food...

Harps & trumpets... Laugh my ass off.

Suckers.
