Prompt 186: Religion.
Ah, religion. Words cannot describe how *much* I despise this construct.
You see, mortals are right, to guess that there are entities far more powerful than they are, beings eternal and puissant with the ability to transform their petty little lives. Yes, indeed, what you call "gods" exist. *That* is not my problem with religion.
My problem is with the worship. And more specifically, with the fact that you cannot be bothered to actually *understand* what you worship.
( 'We're lowly! We're not worthy! We're going to totally ignore everything you say in favor of what we wanna believe you said, but nonetheless we really worship you!' )
